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...

According to the "Istituto Superiore di Sanita'" (ISS), hospital infections are the most frequent and serious complication of health care. This constitutes a real health emergency which requires incisive and joint action at all levels of the local an...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a unique and diverse group of molecules that play a crucial role in a myriad of biological processes and cellular functions. AMP-related studies have become increasingly popular in recent years due to antimicrobial r...
Identification of prokaryotic transposases (Tnps) not only gives insight into the spread of antibiotic resistance and virulence but the process of DNA movement. This study aimed to develop a classifier for predicting Tnps in bacteria and archaea usin...
Virulence factors (VFs) enable pathogens to infect their hosts. A wealth of individual, disease-focused studies has identified a wide variety of VFs, and the growing mass of bacterial genome sequence data provides an opportunity for computational met...

OBJECTIVE: Procalcitonin levels above 2.0 ng/mL are associated with a higher risk of severe sepsis. Bacteremia with procalcitonin levels lower than 2.0 ng/mL has not received much attention, and relevant prediction models are lacking. Herein, a panel...
Bacterial proteins dubbed virulence factors (VFs) are a highly diverse group of sequences, whose only obvious commonality is the very property of being, more or less directly, involved in virulence. It is therefore tempting to speculate whether their...
