In dentistry, probiotics were first introduced by Meurman and colleagues6, who found that Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103 could colonize the human mouth. With further research, probiotics have been found to have a remarkable ability to prevent dental caries. For instance, one study explo...
S. mutansemploys some acid-resistant mechanisms to cope with the stress of increasing acid production. F1F0-ATPase, a proton pump encoded byatpD47, not only pumps out intracellular protons to maintain intracellular pH but also produces ATP to promote bacterial growth and survival53. Inhibition of...
There is a need to identify and exploit the mineral strength of a nation to run certain parts of its economy. From precious metals to natural gas and petroleum, geologists are always on the lookout for new ore reserves (ores are substances found in nature that are used to extract minerals ...
A sub-population of vagal level (caudal hindbrain) neural crest cells migrates into and along the developing gut, and gives rise to most of the enteric nervous system [13–17]. The neural crest cells that colonize the gut migrate further than other embryonic cells because the gut is growing...
pylori is capable to adapt to the harsh acidic environment in the stomach and to colonize the gastric mucosa via its interaction with the MUC5AC mucin, which has long been known as the primary receptor for H. pylori in the human stomach, and with other cell receptors (Chmiela and Kupci...

Phage have been shown to target the zoonotic bacteria that colonize the intestines of farm animals [8]. Phage biotechnology has the potential to remedy a number of challenges to sustainably and phage training will be key to developing appropriate phage interventions. 6. Conclusions In conclusion, ...
As the vagina mucosa contains a rich glycogen supply, it has been proposed that lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus species quickly colonize it within the first 24 h of birth [4,12]. As the glycogen content drops in the vagina, it is presumed that the vaginal pH becomes neutral or ...
