Battling Bacteria: Characterizing the NOD-Like Receptor (NLR) Immune Response to <i>Brucella abortus</i> and <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> in Host-pathogen Interactions
… is integral for defense against infectious diseases. Characterized by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs), which sense conserved molecular motifs known as Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs), the innate immune system sets a system of checks and balances to regulate inflammation …

Synthesis of S-Ribosyl-L-homocysteine and Analogs Modified at the Homocysteine-C3 Position
<p>Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell communication that conveys population density information in order to coordinate gene expression to produce synchronized behaviors. QS regulates the expression of virulence genes in many species of bacteria; hence, the manipulation of QS …

Integrating mathematical models with experimental data from in vivo studies to investigate the within-host dynamics of Salmonella Typhimurium
Bacterial diseases have historically accounted for a high burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While antibiotic therapy and immunisations have significantly improved clinical outcomes in the last couple of centuries, the rate at which new treatments and vaccines are being developed has …

Combating biofilms and antibiotic resistance using synthetic biology
Bacterial infections represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Biofilms and antibiotic resistance pose challenges to our future ability to treat bacterial diseases with antibiotics (1). Bacteria frequently live in biofilms, which are surface-associated communities encased in a …

Evaluation of bactericides and plant defense inducers in the presence and absence of onion pathogens Pantoea spp. and Burkholderia gladioli in Colorado
Bacterial diseases can cause significant annual crop losses if left untreated. U.S. onion growers combat bacterial disease pressure through a variety of management practices, including crop rotation, irrigation management, and proper cold storage postharvest. In 2019, twelve national research …

Photoresponsive nanosystems for therapeutic applications
Oncological and bacterial diseases are certainly the most troubling illnesses of the twenty-first century, and the data in this regard are staggering. Indeed, anticancer chemotherapy is affected by low specificity/selectivity and undesired side effects, and drug resistance phenomena are responsible …

The specificity of bacteriophages for different strains of Esch. coli and Esch. communior
… substance had been found a “cure-all” for all bacterial diseases, and it has been from the therapeutic as well as the physico-chemical standpoints that it has been investigated. The subsequent work with this material did not bear out the glowing reports of D’Herelle. The results from its …

Exploiting rice diversity to uncover durable and broad-spectrum resistance
… productivity of this cereal are losses caused by bacterial diseases, such as bacterial blight (BB) and bacterial leaf streak (BLS). Therefore, strategies aimed at increasing the global production of rice are essential. BB and BLS are caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pvs. oryzae (Xoo) and oryzicola …

Regulation of amylovoran biosynthesis in Erwinia amylovora
… amylovora, is one of the most devastating bacterial diseases for the apple and pear industry. Two pathogenicity factors strictly required for E. amylovora to cause disease are the exopolysaccharide amylovoran and the type III secretion system. In bacteria, the two-component signal …

Identification and characterization of type III secretion inhibitors in Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight of apple and pear
Fire blight is a destructive bacterial disease of apples and pears as well as other rosaceous plants and causes millions of dollar losses around the world each year. Erwinia amylovora is the causative agent of fire blight. The type III secretion system (T3SS) and exopolysaccharide (EPS) amylovoran …
