Micro/nanorobots are being increasingly utilized as new diagnostic and therapeutic platforms in the biomedical field, enabling remote navigation to hard-to-reach tissues and the execution of various medical procedures. Although significant progress h...
Antibiotic pollution in the environment can significantly impact soil microorganisms, such as altering the soil microbial community or emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria. We propose three machine learning (ML) methods to investigate antibiotics' ...

One of the main challenges in food microbiology is to prevent the risk of outbreaks by avoiding the distribution of food contaminated by bacteria. This requires constant monitoring of the circulating strains throughout the food production chain. Bact...

Although MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) is considered as the gold standard for rapid and cost-effective identification of microorganisms in routine laboratory practices, its capability for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) detection has received limit...
Invertible promoters (invertons) are crucial regulatory elements in bacteria, facilitating gene expression changes under stress. Despite their importance, their prevalence and the range of regulated gene functions are largely unknown. We introduced D...
Transcriptional factors (TFs) in bacteria play a crucial role in gene regulation by binding to specific DNA sequences, thereby assisting in the activation or repression of genes. Despite their central role, deciphering shape recognition of bacterial ...
Phages, the natural predators of bacteria, were discovered more than 100 years ago. However, increasing antimicrobial resistance rates have revitalized phage research. Methods that are more time-consuming and efficient than wet-laboratory experiments...
Coral diseases contribute to the rapid decline in coral reefs worldwide, and yet coral bacterial pathogens have proved difficult to identify because 16S rRNA gene surveys typically identify tens to hundreds of disease-associate bacteria as putative p...
Next-generation DNA sequencing has shown that the great plate count anomaly, that is, the difference between bacteria present in the environment and those that can be obtained in culture from that environment, is even greater and more persisting than...
Gut microbes is a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, it is still unclear which gut microbiota are the key factors affecting T1D and their influence on the development and progression of the disease. To fill these kn...
