Unraveling the complexities of ApiAP2 regulation in Plasmodium falciparum
The regulation of gene expression in Plasmodium spp., the causative agents of malaria, relies on precise transcriptional control. Malaria parasites encode a limited repertoire of sequence-specific transcriptional regulators dominated by the apicomplexan APETALA 2 (ApiAP2) protein family. ApiAP2 DNA-binding proteins play critical…

Enzymatically enhanced ultrastructure expansion microscopy unlocks expansion of in vitro Toxoplasma gondii cysts
Expansion microscopy (ExM) is an innovative approach to achieve super-resolution images without using super-resolution microscopes, based on the physical expansion of the sample. The advent of ExM has unlocked the detail of super-resolution images for a broader scientific circle, lowering…

The three Plasmodium falciparum Aurora-related kinases display distinct temporal and spatial associations with mitotic structures in asexual blood stage parasites and gametocytes
Aurora kinases are crucial regulators of mitotic cell cycle progression in eukaryotes. The protozoan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates via schizogony, a specialized mode of cell division characterized by consecutive asynchronous rounds of nuclear division by closed mitosis followed by…

Defying the odds: Determinants of the antimicrobial response of Salmonella Typhi and their interplay
Typhoid fever is brought on by Salmonella Typhi, an invasive serovar of S. enterica subspecies enterica that infects healthy human hosts. The use of traditional antibiotics to treat typhoid fever has continuously been hampered by the advent of antibiotic-resistant bacteria….

Rapid Dot-Blot Immunoassay for Detecting Multiple Salmonella enterica Serotypes
S. Thompson, also known as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Thompson, is a serious hazard to public health and food quality. Zero tolerance in food control is necessary for the foodborne pathogen.

Serum cytokine profile of neonatal broiler chickens infected with Salmonella Typhimurium
Infection with Salmonella occurs, the avian immune system reacts by releasing cytokines and chemokines. It was our hypothesis that the immunological status of neonatal broilers challenged with Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) would be different from that of the uninfected group.

Synergistic activity of Limosilactobacillus reuteri KUB-AC5 and water-based plants against Salmonella challenge in a human in vitro gut model
A synbiotic is a mixture of living microorganisms and particular substrates that the host microorganisms specifically use to their advantage, improving the host’s health. In mice and chicken models, prior research has shown that L. reuteri KUB-AC5 provides protection against…

Interrogating Salmonella Typhi biofilm formation and dynamics to understand antimicrobial resistance
Globally, illnesses caused by Salmonella Typhi biofilms are increasing. Since drug resistance has emerged, antibiotics have not been able to effectively combat the S. Typhi biofilm. Thus, it is imperative to conduct a thorough analysis of the S. Typhi biofilm…

Subversion of a family of antimicrobial proteins by Salmonella enterica
Food-borne pathogen Salmonella enterica can cause a variety of illnesses, from minor gastroenteritis to systemic infections. A broad range of host-derived antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are anticipated to be encountered by Salmonella during nearly every stage of the infection process.

Combination of autochthonous Lactobacillus strains and trans-Cinnamaldehyde in water reduces Salmonella Heidelberg in turkey poults
The risk of Salmonella contamination at subsequent stages of production must be reduced by reducing the colonization of the bacteria in turkeys. It is critical to put measures in place that target potential channels of transmission, such as drinking water,…
