This study shows that M.FcoHsdM-dependent DNA methylation affects secretion systems, interbacterial competition, and virulence in Flavobacterium columnare.

This study evaluates vaccine efficacy against Flavobacterium infections in fish through a systematic review and meta-analysis, finding significant variation in effectiveness based on pathogen, host, vaccine type, and administration route.

This study investigates the role of SppA in Flavobacterium columnare, showing it is essential for virulence, membrane homeostasis, and biofilm formation.

This study characterizes PorX, a response regulator in the Type-IX secretion system, revealing its unique enzymatic activity and zinc-dependent dimerization, with implications for virulence factor secretion in bacterial pathogens.

The paper uses electron cryo-tomography to analyze membrane projections and associated protein complexes in bacterial species, identifying diverse structures and protein associations.
