A new mechanism for inhibiting bacterial division

Natural genetic transformation is integrated into the cell cycle of pneumococcus. The pathogenic bacterium S. pneumoniae, commonly known as pneumococcus, is capable of integrating DNA sequences present in the external environment into its genome. This natural transformation process, which is highly conserved in bacteria, contributes to their diversification by enabling intra- and inter-species gene exchange. […]

Extracellular DNA filaments associated with surface polysaccharide II give Clostridioides difficile biofilm matrix a network-like structure

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium responsible for nosocomial and community-acquired intestinal infections. One of the major problems associated with these infections is the frequent occurrence of recurrences: in 15 to 25% of cases after a first episode, often due to a relapse linked to the same bacterial strain. These relapses are […]
