Ergosterol, a key lipid component of fungal membranes, has its homeostasis predominantly maintained through membrane-associated mechanisms, yet the role of the many transmembrane proteins in regulatin
IntroductionSmall colony variant (SCV) is a bacterial phenotype closely related to persistent and recurrent infections. SCVs are mutations that occur within bacterial populations, resulting in a chang
The rampant rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens poses a serious health threat, necessitating innovative tools to unravel the complex genetic underpinnings of antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising tool with which to fight rising antibiotic resistance. However, pathogenic bacteria are equipped with several AMP defense mechanisms, whose contributions
