Bacterial Pathogenesis and Antibiotic Resistance: A Growing Problem Across the span of human history, pathogenic bacteria have been one of the main killers of human and animal populations, causing ...

This article highlights the role of bacterial glycosidases during infections, introducing their use as glycoengineering tools. What potential does this emerging field hold for biotherapeutics?

Scientists have identified a new mechanism of bacterial pathogenesis. Bacteria that cause chronic infections have an amazing but yet poorly known ability to subvert immune response, live and ...

A recent review by researchers at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) shows Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) and ...

Scientists have identified specific bacteria that may have a key role in vascular pathogenesis, specifically atherosclerosis, or what is commonly referred to as "hardening of the arteries" -- the ...

Mortality from influenza viruses is strongly linked to secondary bacterial invaders. Here, Jonathan A. McCullers reviews viral and bacterial virulence factors that contribute to the pathogenesis ...

Pathogenesis: How Germs Made History, by Jonathan Kennedy, Torva £25, 384 pages (Published in the US as Pathogenesis: A History of the World in Eight Plagues, Crown Publishing $30, 304 pages) ...

New molecular, cellular, and immunologic techniques used to study host–pathogen interactions have led to a reexamination of the role of infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

To date, a number of bacterial glycosidases have been discovered and characterized. The impact of these enzymes on the pathogenesis of bacteria involves nutrient acquisition, increased adherence ...
