Abstract Twelve 30‐ to 75‐day‐old mixed breed lambs were examined in an intensive system because of sudden recumbency and death. Clinical examination revealed sudden recumbency, visceral pain, and auscultation of r...

Abstract Background Middle ear effusion is common in brachycephalic dogs with similarities to otitis media with effusion in children. Association with the cranial and eustachian tube morphology and bacterial infection is...

ABSTRACT Hydrocephalus is an important neurological disorder rarely described in birds. The present report aims to describe a natural case of hydrocephalus in a blue-fronted parrot (Amazona aestiva) from a conservationis...

ABSTRACT Bacillus subtilis CpgA (circularly permuted GTPase) is a ribosome assembly GTPase that has a secondary function as a metabolite proofreading enzyme. CpgA hydrolyzes 4-phosphoerythronate, a toxic metabolite produ...

ABSTRACT Zinc is a critical nutrient for all living organisms, including bacterial pathogens such as Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of the severe human respiratory disease diphtheria. As such, zinc acqu...

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium smegmatis is nonpathogenic and fast-growing and is usually used as a model species of Mycobacterium. Studying basic metabolic mechanisms is crucial for accelerating mycobacterial research. Although...

ABSTRACT Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (SGG) is a bacterial pathogen implicated in bacteremia and endocarditis and is often associated with colon tumors in elderly individuals. The development of colorec...

ABSTRACT Cysteine proteases are hydrolases that share a common catalytic mechanism involving a nucleophilic cysteine thiol in a catalytic dyad or triad. Here, we review the current clans that make up the cysteine proteas...

ABSTRACT Cystic fibrosis (CF) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represent distinct pathologies with unique genetic underpinnings; yet, they share remarkable similarities in gut microbiota dysbiosis and intestinal phys...

ABSTRACT The Com_YlbF domain-containing proteins inhibit sporulation, competition, and biofilm formation by affecting the activity of ribonuclease RNase-Y in Bacillus subtilis. Similar Com_YlbF proteins are found in Stap...

ABSTRACT Antimicrobial recalcitrance is a growing problem in today’s world. Not only are bacteria developing resistance at an alarming pace but the antibiotic discovery pipeline has gone dry, making antimicrobial stewa...

ABSTRACT Mycoplasma bovis is a highly infectious pathogenic microorganism that causes various clinical signs in cattle, including pneumonia, arthritis, and mastitis, often resulting in significant economic losses. The ad...

ABSTRACT Transcriptional regulation of metabolic operons is important for optimal carbohydrate use and for mitigating the accumulation of toxic intermediates. Here, we characterize SL1344_3500, encoding a putative IclR-l...

ABSTRACT Many bacteria produce flagella to swim and navigate through environments. Depending on the species, flagella are beneficial for other activities such as sensing surfaces to initiate biofilm development, secretio...

ABSTRACT Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae and M. lepromatosis. Brazil consistently ranks among the countries with the highest number of leprosy cases. Data from our group showed that...

ABSTRACT Carbapenem resistance mediated by blaNDM-encoded metallo-beta-lactamases is often linked to ISAba125, an insertion sequence from the IS30 family, which is widely distributed among critical and high-priority bact...

ABSTRACT Increased susceptibility of elderly populations to infection is a major concern, as recently experienced by the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, the treatment of infected elderly individuals is of immediate inte...

Bone infection is a severe disease caused by microbial invasion of bone tissue, characterized by inflammatory responses, bone destruction, and impaired repair. Its high recurrence rate and refractory nature have posed si...
