TL;DR
Caenorhabditis elegans is presented as a versatile and tractable model for investigating F. nucleatum virulence determinants and offer a valuable platform for advancing the understanding of its pathogenic potential.
Microsporidia are fungal parasites that can only reproduce inside the cells of a host, and they infect most animal groups, including humans and agriculturally important species. Animals also harbor a microbiome, which can shape resistance to infection, but the mechanisms by which bacteria influence microsporidia infect...
A fluorescence-based labeling approach using fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) to simultaneously track peptidoglycan biosynthesis and the localization of FadA in F. nucleatum is presented, providing a versatile platform for investigating the dynamic interplay between virulence factor localization and cell envelope remo...
The Gram-positive obligate anaerobe Finegoldia magna is a member of the healthy human microbiota, but also acts as an opportunistic pathogen to cause persistent, biofilm-associated infections. Despite its prevalence on the human host, little is known about F. magna biology or the mechanisms underlying its clinically re...
ABSTRACT Members of the Family Chlamydiaceae are obligate intracellular bacteria displaying a range of host and tissue tropisms. Genetic tractability, first established for Chlamydia trachomatis LGV serovar L2, is now being expanded to additional Chlamydia species. This capability facilitates the comparative assessment...
BACKGROUND Blastocystis sp. is a predominant anaerobic eukaryote of the human gastrointestinal tract, with carriage rates exceeding 50% in some populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, using molecular methods. Despite its widespread occurrence, its clinical importance continues to be a matter of d...
