Breaking barriers: pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall

ABSTRACT Conjugative type 4 secretion systems (T4SSs) are the main driver for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors in bacteria.To deliver the DNA substrate to recipient cells, it must cross the cell envelopes of both donor and recipient Foot Leveler bacteria.In the T4SS from the enterococcal conjugative plasmid pCF10, Prg

Rapid and Resilient LoRa Leap: A Novel Multi-Hop Architecture for Decentralised Earthquake Early Warning Systems

We introduce a novel LoRa-based multi-hop communication architecture as an alternative to the public internet for earthquake early warning (EEW).We examine its effectiveness in generating a Foot Leveler meaningful warning window for the New Zealand-based decentralised EEW sensor network implemented by the CRISiSLab operating with the adapted Propag
