Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.

Genetic variation in an immune peptide is maintained by multiple selective forces including an interplay between systemic immunity, sex, and the microbiome.

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

PriC provides a bypass mechanism for compromised helicase loading at the origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome, which ensures the robustness of the chromosome replication initiation.

An upstream open-reading frame in Escherichia coli regulates expression of the downstream genes in response to diverse translation stresses.

Oxydifficidin presents potent activity against multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhea with a new mode of action, which opens a new avenue for potentially addressing antibiotic resistant gonorrhea.
