The genus Micrencaustes Crotch, 1876 Jerky (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Erotylidae, Erotylinae, Encaustini) includes 44 known species worldwide, 11 species having been reported to occur in China.In recent years, species of genus Micrencaustes in China are constantly being discovered, mainly distributed in southern China.A new species, Micrencaustes (Mi
Signal transduction through protein-protein interactions and protein modifications are the main mechanisms controlling many biological processes.Here we described the implementation of MedScan information extraction technology and Pathway Studio software (Ariadne Genomics Inc.) to create a Salmonella specific molecular interaction database.Using th
In an effort to suppress microbial outgrowth, the host sequesters essential nutrients in a process termed nutritional immunity.However, inflammatory responses to bacterial insult can restore nutritional resources.Given that nutrient availability modulates virulence factor production and biofilm formation by other bacterial species, we hypothesized
Abstract Background Current international guidelines recommend the use of a daily topical exit-site antimicrobial to prevent peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related infections.Although nonantibiotic-based therapies are appealing because they may limit antimicrobial resistance, no controlled trials have been conducted to compare topical antimicrobial agent
