Bacterial cellular heterogeneity in inducible gene expression and drug susceptibility
Biological processes are inherently noisy, and such stochasticity can result in significant cell to cell variability in isogenic bacterial populations. Functionally, cellular heterogeneity can have significant impact on ... -
Bipartite pore-forming toxin YaxAB: understanding pore formation using live-cell imaging
Bacteria employ a variety of strategies to invade and colonise the host tissue, including the secretion of toxins to overcome the cellular barrier. Bacterial pore-forming toxins (PFTs) disrupt the lipid bilayer by forming ... -
Elucidation of fluid dynamics of bacterial movements and transport processes in natural body fluids and its relation to pathogenesis
The transmission mechanism of respiratory diseases includes routes such as direct or indirect contact, large droplets, and airborne transmission, apart from close contact transmission, which is complex. However, the ... -
Immune cell surveillance and death on silicone catheter surfaces drives bacterial biofilm formation
Silicone venous catheters are among the most used medical devices in the world with a prevalence of up to 80% in hospitalised patients. While they are used for several life-saving applications, they are also prone to ... -
INTERPIN: identifying INtrinsic transcription TERminators, hairPINs in bacteria
The conversion of DNA to RNA through transcription is an important step in the life cycle of every organism. It ensures that the genetic information in DNA is converted through RNA into instructions/blueprints for the ... -
Self-organisation of bacteria through swarming
Swarming is a unique example of social behaviour in bacteria. They represent the collective effort of bacteria to translocate on moist substrates. The bacteria extract fluid from the substrate through osmosis and produces ...
