Abstract Soils are the primary environmental reservoir of plant pathogens impacting food production and ecosystem productivity worldwide. Yet, some soils can also suppress pathogens through environmental and microbial re...

Abstract The soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida injects toxic proteins into neighbouring competitors, including resilient phytopathogens, using the Type VI secretion system (T6SS). The secretion of toxins endows P. putida...

To improve early detection of invasive tree pathogens, foliar putative pathogenic fungal communities in reciprocal ex patria sentinel plantings across three continents were examined. Geographic location and tree species ...

El uso de L. plantarum LP5 con potencial probiótico puede ser un enfoque alternativo para reducir la formación de biofilms de patógenos involucrados en enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos (ETA) en las industrias a...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), along with many other economically valuable species, belongs to the Solanaceae family. Understanding how plants in this family defend themselves against pathogens offers the opportunity of ...

Abstract Acquired immunity in plants, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), plays a central role in protecting crops against a wide spectrum of pathogens and pests, ranging f...

Chemical composition, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of commercial essential oils’ samples from the aerial plant parts of H. officinalis, R. officinalis and S. officinalis were investigated. Analyses by GC-FID ...

Abstract Top-down trophic interactions are major drivers of microbiome dynamics, yet their outcomes are difficult to predict and their consequences for pathogen control remain unclear. We combine synthetic bacterial comm...

Abstract The escalating antibiotic resistance in oral pathogens, particularly Streptococcus mutans, necessitates the discovery of alternative bioactive scaffolds. While Piper crocatum (red betel) is an ethnobotanically s...

BackgroundHospital-acquired infections such as nosocomial pneumonia are a serious cause of mortality for hospitalized patients, especially for those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Despite the number of the stud...

One way that pathogens develop resistance to pharmaceuticals is by forming biofilms, which are 3-D communities of bacteria. As a result, there is considerable interest in identifying new antibiofilm agents from nature th...

The composition of the plant microbiome is shaped not only by the host plant and abiotic environmental factors, but also by intermicrobial cooperation and competition. Plant pathogens, therefore, must remain competitive ...

Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

ABSTRACT Phytocystatins belong to the family of cysteine proteinases inhibitors. These proteinase inhibitors have crucial functions in plant defense against insects and pathogens attack. In the present study Melia azedar...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a serious threat to global food security, with estimated annual losses exceeding $173 billion. Beyond their direct damage, interactions between PPNs and other phytopathogens can lead ...

Modern animal and crop production practices are associated with the regular use of antimicrobials, potentially increasing selection pressure on bacteria to become resistant. Alternative approaches are needed in order to ...

Abstract The essential oil (EO) of Tanacetum argyrophyllum harvested from Armenian flora (2080 m above sea level), characterized by a eucalyptol–camphor chemotype, and was investigated for its antibacterial activity, ...

To explore more potential fungicides with new scaffolds, 10 norbornene derivatives containing thiourea group were designed, synthesized and assayed for inhibitory activity against three plant pathogenic fungi. The prelim...

Background: Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species are understudied opportunistic pathogens that infect humans, animals and plants. These infections are often asymptomatic, which, together with fastidious growth requireme...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely planted crops globally with Argentina leading world production and exportation. Santiago del Estero province, east of Tucumán and north of Córdoba encompasses eight agro-cl...

Background: Infectious diseases are a global problem, the second human cause of death. Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria have been treated with a high degree of efficacy. However, even when the 20th centu...

Pathogenic microorganisms can reside transiently or permanently in the gallbladder of cattle. Thus, during slaughter, more attention should be given to the gastrointestinal tract, especially to the accessory organ, the g...

The potato periderm is the outer tissue of potato tubers that protects the tuber from pathogen attack, dehydration, and wounding during harvest and storage. It is of secondary origin and replaces the epidermis early duri...

The microbiota of plants is composed of a large diversity of microbes, engaging with their host via various types of interactions, from beneficial to detrimental. Consequently, how plants perceive mutualistic from pathog...
