The large-scale identification of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) between humans and bacteria remains a crucial step in systematically understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of bacterial infection. Computational prediction approaches a...
Transposon insertion sequencing (TIS) is a widely used technique for conducting genome-scale forward genetic screens in bacteria. However, few methods enable comparison of TIS data across multiple replicates of a screen or across independent screens,...
Signal peptides (SPs) are short amino acid sequences in the amino terminus of many newly synthesized proteins that target proteins into, or across, membranes. Bioinformatic tools can predict SPs from amino acid sequences, but most cannot distinguish ...

Quorum sensing is a widespread form of cell-to-cell communication, which is based on the production of signaling molecules known as autoinducers (AIs). The first group contains highly species-specific N-acyl homoserine lactones (N-AHLs), generally kn...
Type IV secretion systems exist in a number of bacterial pathogens and are used to secrete effector proteins directly into host cells in order to change their environment making the environment hospitable for the bacteria. In recent years, several ma...
The discovery of peptide substrates for enzymes with exclusive, selective activities is a central goal in chemical biology. In this paper, we develop a hybrid computational and biochemical method to rapidly optimize peptides for specific, orthogonal ...

Among many pneumococcal antigens, choline-binding proteins (CPBs) display a high immunogenicity in animal models. This study aims to determine the immunogenicity of CbpM, CbpG and CbpL proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae in a mice model. The genes w...
Streptococcus uberis is one of the most common pathogens of clinical mastitis in the dairy industry. Knowledge of pathogen transmission route is essential for the selection of the most suitable intervention. Here we show that spectral profiles acquir...

BACKGROUND: Currently it can take up to 5 days to rule out bloodstream infection. With the low yield of blood cultures (approximately 10%), a significant number of patients are potentially exposed to inappropriate therapy that can lead to adverse eve...
Lysine acetylation is one of the most important types of protein post-translational modifications (PTM) that are widely involved in cellular regulatory processes. To fully understand the regulatory mechanism of acetylation, identification of acetylat...
