- 1From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSilva-Herzog, E. et al. Microbiology 154, 593-607 (2008) The lipoprotein YscJ is an essential component of the type III secretion apparatus in Yersinia pestis, yet little is known about its topology or precise...
- 2From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Bacteria precisely adjust their membrane lipid composition by...
- 3From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe human intestinal microbiota is composed of [10.sup.13] to [10.sup.14] microorganisms that have a collective genome--the microbiome--which contains at least 100 times as many genes as our own genome. Most of these...
- 4From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWith an informal company motto of "Don't be evil", it is fitting that Google pledged 1% of the firm's equity, annual profits and employees' time "to address some of the world's most urgent problems" when they went public...
- 5From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe results of a new study in Environmental Microbiology have identified a distinct proteorhodopsin-related clade in non-marine habitats and indicate that microbial rhodopsins are important in all aquatic habitats, and...
- 6From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMerkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, but extremely aggressive, form of skin cancer. It tends to occur on sun-exposed areas of the body, but is more common in people who are immunocompromised, including patients with...
- 7From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedHerpes simplex viruses (HSV) can undergo a lytic infection in epithelial cells and a latent infection in sensory neurons. During latency the virus persists until reactivation, which leads to recurrent productive...
- 8From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedHow can we prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections, given that resistance to antibiotics is on the rise and effective vaccinations remain elusive? One solution may be directly under our noses. Approximately 20% of the...
- 9From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe archaeal domain is currently divided into two major phyla, the Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. During the past few years, diverse groups of uncultivated mesophilic archaea have been discovered and affiliated with...
- 10From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMinamino, T. & Namba, N. Nature 451, 485-488 (2008) Energy source of flagellar type III secretion Paul, N. et al. Nature 451, 489-492 (2008) Motile bacteria are able to move in their environment by virtue of their...
- 11From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBiofilms contain bacterial cells that are in a wide range of physiological states. Within a biofilm population, cells with diverse genotypes and phenotypes that express distinct metabolic pathways, stress responses and...
- 12From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBy generating a 'safe' form of Ebola virus, researchers may have made it possible for research laboratories around the world to study Ebola. Because Ebola virus causes deadly haemorrhagic fever, has a 50-90% mortality...
- 13From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedHIV-1 expresses an accessory protein called Vpu that is required for the efficient release of viral particles from certain human cells and subsequent dissemination of infection. Without this protein, the virus remains...
- 14From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedArrays of clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) are widespread in the genomes of many bacteria and almost all archaea. These arrays are composed of direct repeats that are separated by...
- 15From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedGiven that a probiotic drink might contain only a billion live bacteria, compared with the one hundred trillion bacteria that are estimated to be present in the human gut, some researchers argue that probiotics must have...
- 16From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWaiting several days, and performing several diagnostic tests, to find out which virus is causing a cough might be a thing of the past. Two tests that identify respiratory viruses in only a few hours have been certified...
- 17From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedEfforts to describe and functionally categorize the amazing diversity of microbial life have long been hampered by our inability to cultivate most microorganisms in the laboratory. Recent technological advances in...
- 18From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTwenty-four patients died in probiotic clinical trials between 2004 and 2007, according to researchers from the University Medical Centre in Utrecht, the Netherlands. During the studies, species of Lactobacillus,...
- 19From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMaster regulatory genes could be important targets for natural selection at times of major change. A study in a bacterial model system has dissected the molecular and fitness consequences of selection on such a regulator...
- 20From: Nature Reviews Microbiology. (Vol. 6, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedFor H5N1 to spread among humans, the haemagglutinin (HA) must first adapt so that it can bind to the sialylated glycans that line the epithelial cells of the airways and lungs in humans. Currently, H5N1 HA has high...
