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 ... -
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 ...
