BackgroundCampylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial food infections worldwide. In Algeria, data regarding the epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance and virulence of Campylobacter remain limited. This study aim...

Abstract Invasive infections due to Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete species are an emerging problem in immunocompromised patients and are often underrecognized because of misidentification and intrinsic resistance to some anti...

Abstract Gram-negative bacteria use a plethora of virulence factors to infect eukaryotic cells. CE-clan protease-related virulence factors were reported to act as deubiquitinases/ubiquitin-like specific proteases. Some h...

Abstract Background The global rise of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, poses a critical ...

Background: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Gram-negative bacteria are spherical lipid bilayer nanostructures with diameters of 20 to 250 nm. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a keystone periodontal pathogen,...

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacteria that causes a variety of diseases, from skin infections to serious and fatal infections, due to producing a variety of virulence factors. Biofilm is the most important virul...

The escalating global prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Helicobacter pylori strains has undermined conventional eradication therapies, heightening the burden of associated conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers and...

Background: Multiple meta-analyses have evaluated the effect of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection on the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their findings remain inconsistent. Objectives: To critical...

Antimicrobial resistance threatens millions of lives annually, yet its acceleration by non-antibiotic pollutants remains poorly understood. Artificial sweeteners, now ubiquitous in soils and waters, are known individuall...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

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...

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...

Escherichia coli is the most common causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Important virulence factors are the FimH and PapGII adhesion genes. The current work sought to ascertain the prevalence of the fimH ...

Abstract Background Temperate phages play a central role in the evolution and pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus. Sa3int phages provide highly human-specific virulence factors that promote immune evasion and survival...
