DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00160-23
Abstract: NBHS are recognized as opportunistic pathogens particularly involved in infections of the elderly and immunocompromised patients. This study underlines their importance as common causes of severe and difficult-to-treat infections such as endocarditis. ABSTRACT Non-beta-hemolytic streptococci… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010198
Abstract: Competence for DNA transformation is a major strategy for bacterial adaptation and survival. Yet, this successful tactic is energy-consuming, shifts dramatically the metabolism, and transitory impairs the regular cell-cycle. In streptococci, complex regulatory pathways control… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ma14112730
Abstract: Periodontitis, an infectious disease originating from dental biofilms that causes the irreversible loss of alveolar bone, is accompanied by gradual biofilm formation and the continuous progression of inflammation. A small peptide derived from penetratin, Arg-Gln-Ile-Arg-Arg-Trp-Trp-Gln-Arg-NH2… read more here.
