Pseudomonads sense changes in the concentration of chemicals in their environment and
exhibit a behavioral response mediated by flagella or pili coupled with a chemosensory …

The influence of bacterial growth stage and the evolution of surface macromolecules on cell
adhesion have been examined by using a mutant of Escherichia coli K-12. To better …

We propose a novel application of secondary electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (SESI-MS)
as a real-time clinical diagnostic tool for bacterial infection. It is known that volatile …

10.7554/eLife.21738.001 It has long been thought that the life cycle of Streptomyces bacteria
encompasses three developmental stages: vegetative hyphae, aerial hyphae and spores. …

Bacteria produce unique volatile mixtures that could be used to identify infectious agents to
the species, and possibly the strain level. However, due to the immense variety of human …

The identification of bacteria by their volatilomes is of interest to many scientists and clinicians
as it holds the promise of diagnosing infections in situ, particularly lung infections via …

Bacterial pneumonia is one of the leading causes of disease-related morbidity and mortality
in the world, in part because the diagnostic tools for pneumonia are slow and ineffective. To …

Tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious disease, and yet accurate diagnostics for the
disease are unavailable for many subpopulations. In this study, we investigate the possibility of …

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health malady that claims almost 1.8 million lives
annually. Diagnosis of TB represents perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nearly ubiquitous Gram-negative organism, well known to
occupy a multitude of environmental niches and cause human infections at a variety of bodily …
