Protein-protein interactions are central to the regulation and function of transcription factors in time- and cell-specific regulation of the genome. Increases in interactome complexity may serve as a mechanistic driver for evolutionary novelty. T...
Vibrio vulnificus is ubiquitous in estuarine and coastal waters worldwide and associates naturally with a variety of aquatic organisms. Notably, it is a highly invasive human pathogen capable of causing septicemia and multi-organ failure in person...
The essential oil (EO) industry continues to grow as consumers search for more alternative and complementary therapies. When possible, EO users often turn to EOs for basic medical ailments instead of traditional medications/pharmaceuticals. With t...
ABSTRACT Burkholderia multivorans is an opportunistic pathogen that poses a health risk to patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The use of broad-range antibiotics to combat chronic bacterial lung infections has led to the evolution of antibiotic-re...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are a key link between anthropogenic activity and the environment, facilitating the development and horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance among populations of commensal environmental microorganisms and cli...
A sound genome assembly and robust annotations are essential to the differential analysis of bacterial genomes. Using a case study data set of newly sequenced Vibrio vulnificus genomes, both the biology of these bacteria, and the bioinformatics pr...
