Group A < em > Streptococcus < /em > adaptation to diverse niches: lessons from transcriptomic studies
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2023 Dec 23:1-25. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2023.2294905. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGroup A Streptococcus (GAS) is a major human pathogen, causing diseases ranging from mild superficial infections of the skin and pharyngeal epithelium to severe systemic and invasive diseases. Moreover, post infection auto-immune sequelae arise by a yet not fully understood mechanism. The ability of GAS to cause a wide variety of infections is linked to the expression of a large set of virulence factors and their transcriptional regulation in response to various physiological environments. The use of transcriptomics, amo...

A comprehensive guide on screening and selection of a suitable AMP against biofilm-forming bacteria
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2023 Dec 15:1-20. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2023.2293019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLately, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing at an exponential rate making it important to search alternatives to antibiotics in order to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. Out of the several antibacterial and antibiofilm strategies being tested, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have shown to give better hopes in terms of a long-lasting solution to the problem. To select a desired AMP, it is important to make right use of available tools and databases that aid in identification, classification, ...
