Article Abstract
Autophagy serves as a survival mechanism and plays important role in nutrient recycling under conditions of starvation, nutrient storage, ad differentiation of plant pathogenic fungi. However, autophagy-related genes have not been investigated in , a causal agent of pepper fruit anthracnose disease. is involved in autophagosome formation and is considered a marker of autophagy. Therefore, we generated an deletion mutant, , via homologous recombination to determine the functional roles of in the development and virulence of . Compared with the wild-type, the deletion mutant exhibited a severe reduction in conidiation. Conidia produced by were defective in survival, conidial germination, and appressorium formation. Moreover, conidia of showed reduced lipid amount and PTS1 selectivity. A virulence assay showed that anthracnose development on pepper fruits was reduced in . Taken together, our results suggest that plays various roles in conidium production and associated development, and virulence in .

Background: A significant surge in pertussis cases since early 2023 has raised serious public health concerns. To investigate the potential mechanisms contributing to this increased prevalence, we collected throat swab specimens from children exhibiting pertussis symptoms and conducted detailed molecular characterization.
Methods: All Bordetella pertussis (B.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are among the first pathogens to colonise in catheter and non-catheter-associated urinary tract infections. However, these infections are often polymicrobial, resulting in multi-species infections that persist by forming biofilms. Living within these highly antimicrobial tolerant communities, bacteria can establish intra- and inter-specific interactions, including quorum sensing (QS)-mediated signalling mechanisms, which play a key role in biofilm establishment and maturation.

Chronic inflammation and microbial dysbiosis have been implicated in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), particularly oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the progressive destruction of tooth-supporting structures. While periodontitis Has been associated with an increased risk of OSCC in epidemiological and mechanistic studies, the strength of this association is unclear.

Plasmids are fundamental to molecular biology and biotechnology, playing a crucial role in bacterial evolution. Some plasmids are linked to complex cellular dynamics, including pathogenicity islands, antibiotic resistance, and gene mobilization. This study reports the isolation and sequencing of two cryptic plasmids with different electrophoretic mobilities from the Escherichia coli clinical isolate O55.

Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause an immune-mediated disease that is fatal to felines, but there is a lack of clinically effective protection conferred by vaccines. The methyltransferase (MTase) activity of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins nsp14 and nsp16 affects virulence, but there are no studies on the effect of nsp14 and nsp16 mutations affecting enzyme activity on the virulence of FIPV. In this study, we successfully rescued two mutant strains based on the previous infectious clone QS-79, named FIPV QS-79 dnsp14 and dnsp16, by mutating the MTase active sites of nsp14 (N415) and nsp16 (D129).
