Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen responsible for severe infections. While traditionally described as extracellular, increasing evidence establishes S. aureus as a facultative intracellular pathogen. Intracellularity contributes to immune evasion, dissemination, and antibiotic failu...
The overuse of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry farming has raised global concerns about antimicrobial resistance and food safety, prompting the search for effective natural alternatives. Moringa is rich in bioactive compounds with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties; ho...
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known to mediate intercellular communication, virulence, and immune modulation. Here we show that bacteria can utilise EVs also as recyclable nutrient reservoirs. Using Bacillus cereus as a model organism, we demonstrate that EVs exhibit distin...
Bone implant infections are exacerbated by bacterial biofilm formation, where dynamic metabolic transitions create therapeutic vulnerabilities often missed by conventional static or dynamic therapies. Here, we present a metabolism-guided strategy via lattice strain engineering to reprogram bacter...
Chemistry in eukaryotic intercellular spaces is shaped by both hosts and symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria. Pathogenic microorganisms like barley associated Xanthomonas translucens (Xt) swiftly overtake the inner leaf tissue becoming the dominant microbial community member during disease ...
