Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion Transporters: Ubiquitous Multifaceted Proteins in Microbes, Plants, and Their Interactions.

In recent years, membrane transporters have attracted considerable interest regarding their involvement in the molecular dialogue occurring between microbes and their hosts. In particular, the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters form a family of integral membrane proteins, mainly involved in the efflux of toxic and xenobiotic compounds. They are present in all living organisms, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, where they have a wide array of extremely different roles.

Exploiting Bacterial Pigmentation for Non-Destructive Detection of Seed-Borne Pathogens by Using Photoacoustic Techniques.

Seed-borne pathogens pose a significant threat to global food security. This study focuses on pv. (), a quarantine plant pathogen causing bacterial wilt of common beans.

Innovative Detection of the Quarantine Plant Pathogen Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, Causal Agent of Bacterial Wilt of Leguminous Plants.

Specific, sensitive, and rapid detection of quarantine and regulated plant pathogens is pivotal for the control of the diseases they cause. Here, we describe the PCR-based methods which have been developed for Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (Cff), quarantine plant pathogenic bacterium for EU and causal agent of bacterial wilt of Leguminous plants.

Correction to: Acute acalculous cholecystitis determining Mirizzi syndrome: case report and literature review.

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that one of the authors' names is spelled incorrectly.

Acute acalculous cholecystitis determining Mirizzi syndrome: case report and literature review.

Background: Although Mirizzi syndrome is widely reported in literature, little is known about acute acalcholous cholecystitis determinig the findings of a Mirizzi syndrome.

Case Presentation: We report a case of MRCP-confirmed Mirizzi syndrome in acute acalculous cholecystitis resolved by surgery.

Conclusion: Acute acalcholosus cholecystitis determinig a Mirizzi Syndrome should be included in the Mirizzi classification as a type 1.
