Purpose This review aims to provide an overview of current knowledge on the involvement of QS in phage infection. The role of QS in bacterial defence against phages is emphasized, without overlooking ...

Seis trabajos del grupo de investigación Micro TM logran mención internacional por sus avances para desarrollar nuevas terapias contra las superbacterias

La resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM) constituye una de las mayores amenazas sanitarias del siglo XXI

Early signs suggest NB.1.8.1 may be more transmissible than earlier variants, likely due to mutations in the spike protein. But there’s no evidence it’s more severe.

Thousands of treated patients support the potential of phage therapy, but limited knowledge of this technique and its regulatory complexity hinder its expansion

Abstract. Auxiliary metabolic genes encoded by bacteriophages can influence host metabolic function during infection. In temperate phages, auxiliary metabo

Scientists were slow to recognize that Covid spreads through the air. Some are now trying to get ahead of the bird flu.

As we usher in the new year, the Editor-in-Chief of BSAC’s JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance would like to warmly thank all authors and expert peer reviewers wh

Reanalysis of 12,262 longitudinal infant gut microbiome samples using the Marker-MAGu pipeline revealed phage–bacteria dynamics over the first year of life.

Integrons are genetic elements that capture and store gene cassettes in Vibrio species. Bioinformatic and molecular techniques show that these regions can be hotspots of phage defence systems.

Our findings demonstrated that E. xiangfangensis and E. hoffmannii are common species among international carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter spp., potentially linked to the clonal spread of a few pr...

The authors describe a new crosstalk between a globally disseminated carbapenem resistance plasmid and clinical enterobacteria clones. This crosstalk provides a fitness advantage to the plasmid-carryi...
