Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Endoglycosidase S (EndoS) cleaves glycans from IgG and contributes to immune evasion. EndoE from Enterococcus faecalis cleave glycans of IgG, RNaseB and lactoferrin for nutritional and ...

EcOpgD is a β-1,2-glucanase involved in the adjustment of the chain length of osmo-regulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). A reaction mechanism with an unprecedentedly long proton transfer pathway has ...

Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent ...

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they had identified ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for ...

Humans have long had a love-hate relationship with bacteria. While there are bacterial strains that humans cannot live without, such as those that help us digest our food and bolster our immune ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...
