BACKGROUND: Phage therapy, reemerging as a promising approach to counter antimicrobial-resistant infections, relies on a comprehensive understanding of the specificity of individual phages. Yet the significant diversity within phage populations prese...
SUMMARY: We present Coracle, an artificial intelligence (AI) framework that can identify associations between bacterial communities and continuous variables. Coracle uses an ensemble approach of prominent feature selection methods and machine learnin...
UNLABELLED: Human microbes are closely associated with a variety of complex diseases and have emerged as drug targets. Identification of microbe-related drugs is becoming a key issue in drug development and precision medicine. It can also provide gui...
16S rRNA amplicon sequencing provides a relatively inexpensive culture-independent method for studying microbial communities. Although thousands of such studies have examined diverse habitats, it is difficult for researchers to use this vast trove of...
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...
