DECORATION OF THE ENTEROCOCCAL POLYSACCHARIDE ANTIGEN EPA IS ESSENTIAL FOR VIRULENCE, CELL SURFACE CHARGE AND INTERACTION WITH EFFECTORS OF THE INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

Decoration of the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen EPA is essential for virulence, cell surface charge and interaction with effectors of the innate immune system.

Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen with an intrinsically high resistance to lysozyme, a key effector of the innate immune system.This high level Pen Holder of resistance requires a complex network of transcriptional regulators and several genes (oatA, pgdA, dltA and sigV) acting synergistically to inhibit both the enzymatic and cati

Bacillus velezensis YC89-mediated recruitment of rhizosphere bacteria improves resistance against sugarcane red rot

Abstract Background Sugarcane red rot is a soil-borne disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum.It can reduce the yield of sugarcane and the purity of sugarcane juice, which seriously restricts the development of sucrose industry.Biocontrol bacteria can control diseases by regulating rhizosphere microecology.In this study, the effects of biocontrol

Balancing-Prioritized Anti-Slip Control of a Two-Wheeled Inverted Pendulum Robot Vehicle on Low-Frictional Surfaces with an Acceleration Slip Indicator

When a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot vehicle travels on slippery roads, the occurrence of Other Foot Care Products wheel slip extremely threatens its postural stability owing to the loss of wheel traction.If a severe wheel slip happens between the driving wheels and contact surfaces, no control techniques can guarantee the driving perf
