TL;DR: A synthetic report on a molecular organization of bacterial ureases - genetic as well as structural is presented, which describes methods used in detecting urease and ureolytic activity, including techniques applied in disease diagnostic processes and in chemical synthesis of Urease epitopes.

TL;DR: Methods of human bacterial pathogen identification need to be fast, reliable, inexpensive, and time efficient, and these requirements may be met by vibrational spectroscopic techniques.

TL;DR: Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from a range of clinical and environmental sources were collated into a single reference strain panel to harmonise research on this diverse opportunistic pathogen and may provide a valuable resource for the testing of novel therapies against this problematic pathogen.

TL;DR: Generally, the wax moth model results confirmed the data from in vitro assays, but in massive infection of CF isolates, the application of lytic phages probably led to the release of toxic compound causing an increase in larvae mortality.

TL;DR: It is found that the level of antibodies against peptide mimicking urease "flap" region is significantly higher in sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis in comparison with volunteer blood donor sera and it is observed that antibodies present in RA sera may bind not only specific peptide antigens but also peptides with a slightly different structure.
