Abstract. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to modern medicine. To combat AMR pathogens, natural predators like bacteriophages and predatory bacte

Metals are essential trace elements for almost all organisms including bacteria. Yet, metals are toxic at high concentrations, requiring fine-tuned regulatory mechanisms to steer metal homeostasis ins...

Determining the bodily origin of biological traces is a valuable tool in forensic investigations as it helps corroborate testimonies, reconstruct crime-related activities, and select relevant samples ...

IntroductionAntibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global health crisis and a significant public health challenge in Ghana. This narrative review aims to uncover t...

Bacteria live in complex communities, consisting of several strains of the same species and multiple different species. Within these communities, there are ample opportunities for bacteria to...

The Department of Quantitative Biomedicine is an interdisciplinary biomedical research unit that combines basic science with biotechnological and medical research, using both experimental and computat...

One Health is an integrative concept striving for healthy environments, animals, and humans. Microbes play a fundamental role for this concept as they are key drivers of ecosystem stability and host h...

Coevolving siderophore genes shape bacterial iron networks, unveiling the complexity of cheating across habitats and lifestyles.

To combat antimicrobial resistant pathogens, natural predatory bacteria, like Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus , represent potential alternatives. B. bacteriovorus could be particularly potent as it kills a...

The honey bee is a powerful model system to probe host-gut microbiota interactions. This study describes the genetic engineering of a native bacterial symbiont of the honey bee to non-invasively sense...

Ecological dependencies – where organisms rely on other organisms for survival – are a ubiquitous feature of life on earth. Multicellular hosts rely on symbionts to provide essential vitamins and amin...

Intercropping has the potential to improve plant nutrition and crop yield. Here, the authors intercrop peanut and maize and show that Pseudomonas secreted siderophore pyoverdine play an important role...
