Salmonella Enteritidis causes fowl paratyphoid in poultry and is frequently associated to outbreaks of food-borne diseases in humans. The role of flagella and flagella-mediated motility into host-pathogen interplay is not ...

1. In cities, green roofs may favour an increase in the local diversity, although the role they play on host–parasitoid interactions is still unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the specialist leaf-miner Liriomyza ...

Objectives: We investigated the colonisation by Candida spp in patients using orthodontic fixed appliances by characterising the isolated Candida strains and by evaluating the host oral mucosa response through the measure ...

1. Urban environments are fragmented habitats characterised by the presence of physical barriers, which may negatively affect dispersal and colonisation by insect herbivores and their natural enemies. Conversely, plants ...

The interaction between grass endophytes and mycorrhizas of Bromus setifolius from Patagonia, Argentina was examined. To determine effects of the endophyte (Neotyphodium sp.) on the colonisation of B. setifolius by arbuscular ...

Bacteria remodel peptidoglycan structure in response to environmental changes. Many enzymes are involved in peptidoglycan metabolism; however, little is known about their responsiveness in a defined environment or the modes ...
