Bacterial effector proteins, delivered into host cells by specialized multiprotein secretion systems, are a key mediator of bacterial pathogenesis.Following delivery, they modulate a range of host cellular processes and functions.Strong selective pressures have resulted in bacterial effectors evolving unique structures that can mimic host protein b
BACKGROUND: Massive phytoplankton blooms, like the recurrent Phaeocystis proliferation observed every year in the Eastern English Channel (EEC), have a significant influence on the overall planktonic community structure and their food web dynamics.As well as being an important area for local fisheries, the EEC is an ideal ecosystem for work on micr
Many aspects regarding the role of lipopeptides (LPs) in bacterial interaction with plants are not clear yet.Of particular interest is the LP family of surfactin, immunogenic molecules involved in induced systemic resistance (ISR) and the bacterial colonization of plant surfaces.We hypothesize that the concentration of surfactin produced by a strai
Introduction:.Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most dreaded complication after distal pancreatectomy (DP).This multicenter randomized trial evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerance of Hemopatch in preventing clinically relevant (grades B/C according to the ISGPS classification) POPF after DP.Material and methods:.After stump clos
