RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE: THE ROLE OF QUORUM SENSING PLASTICITY IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA INFECTIONS AND ITS LINK TO INTRINSIC MECHANISMS OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Resistance Is Not Futile: The Role of Quorum Sensing Plasticity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections and Its Link to Intrinsic Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance

Bacteria use a cell-cell communication process called quorum sensing (QS) to orchestrate collective behaviors.QS relies on the group-wide detection of extracellular signal molecules called autoinducers (AI).Quorum sensing is required for virulence and biofilm Recycling Tools formation in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.In P.aeruginosa, La

Neglected Tropical Diseases and the Millennium Development Goals-why the "other diseases" matter: reality versus rhetoric

Abstract Since 2004 there has been an increased recognition of the importance of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) as impediments to development.These diseases are caused by a variety of Stainless Steel Wipes infectious agents - viruses, bacteria and parasites - which cause a diversity of clinical conditions throughout the tropics.The World Health

Structural and Electrochemical Properties of Dense Yttria-Doped Barium Zirconate Prepared by Solid-State Reactive Sintering

For practical utilization of proton-conducting ceramic fuel cells and electrolyzers, it is essential to lower the sintering temperature and processing time of BaZrO3-based proton conductors.We investigated the effect of sintering temperature and time on the structural and electrochemical properties of dense BaZr0.8Y0.2O3−δ (BZY) prepared

Multiple interspecific hybridization and microsatellite mutations provide clonal diversity in the parthenogenetic rock lizard Darevskia armeniaca

Abstract Background The parthenogenetic Caucasian rock lizard Darevskia armeniaca, like most other parthenogenetic vertebrate species, originated through interspecific hybridization between the closely related sexual Darevskia mixta and Darevskia valentini.Darevskia armeniaca was shown to consist of one widespread allozyme clone and a few rare ones
