BACKGROUND: Promoters are DNA regions that initiate the transcription of specific genes near the transcription start sites. In bacteria, promoters are recognized by RNA polymerases and associated sigma factors. Effective promoter recognition is essen...

Understanding tumor's microenvironment is one of the key factors in the cancer therapy. Especially, from the perspective of immunotherapy, immune desert or cold tumor is referred as significantly downregulated T cell in-filtration due to lack of immu...
OBJECTIVES: the aim was to compare 2 drops of either 5% chloramphenicol, 1% povidone-iodine or 5% povidone-iodine before cataract surgery on reducing the colonisation of bacterial flora in the conjunctiva.
Type 4 filaments (T4F) are a superfamily of filamentous nanomachines - virtually ubiquitous in prokaryotes and functionally versatile - of which type 4 pili (T4P) are the defining member. T4F are polymers of type 4 pilins, assembled by conserved mult...

Prediction of bacterial immunogens is a prerequisite for the process of vaccine development through reverse vaccinology. The application of in silico methods allows significant reduction in time and cost for the discovery of potential vaccine candida...
Bacteria, especially foodborne pathogens, seriously threaten human life and health. Rapid discrimination techniques for foodborne pathogens are still urgently needed. At present, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), combined with machine lear...

The significant bottlenecks in determining bacterial species are much more time-consuming and the biology specialist's long-term experience requirements. Specifically, it takes more than half a day to cultivate a bacterium, and then a skilled microbi...
The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that is closely related to the aging process. However, there is currently no reliable method to make full use of the metagenomics data of the gut microbiome to determine the age of the host. In this stu...
Recently, the frequency of observing bacterial strains without known genetic components underlying phenotypic resistance to antibiotics has increased. There are several strains of bacteria lacking known resistance genes; however, they demonstrate res...
