Abstract: The majority of plant-sucking stinkbugs of the superfamily Pentatomoidea possess numerous crypts in the midgut as the symbiotic organ, where specific and beneficial symbiotic bacteria are harbored extracellularly. The host–symbiont relationships are co-speciating in the… read more here.

Abstract: Bacterial virulence is highly dynamic and context-dependent. For this reason, it is challenging to predict how molecular changes affect the growth of a pathogen in a host and its spread in host population. Two schools… read more here.

Abstract: Due to concerns over the global increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, alternative antibacterial strategies, such as phage therapy, are increasingly being considered. However, evolution of bacterial resistance to new therapeutics is almost a certainty; indeed, it… read more here.
