Inhibiting Type VI Secretion System Activity with a Biomimetic Peptide Designed To Target the Baseplate Wedge Complex

ABSTRACT Human health is threatened by bacterial infections that are increasingly resistant to multiple drugs.A recently emerged strategy consists of disarming pathogenic bacteria by targeting and blocking their virulence factors.The type VI secretion system BLACK CAVIAR HAIRSPRAY (T6SS) is a widespread secretion nanomachine encoded and employed by

Assessing a Method of Mechanical Cervical Dislocation as a Humane Option for On-Farm Killing Using Anesthetized Poults and Young Turkeys

Our objective was to determine the efficacy of manual cervical dislocation vs.a mechanical cervical dislocation device for on-farm killing of poults and young turkeys.Forty-two 1- and 3-week old turkeys were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: awake manual cervical dislocation (CD), anesthetized Doccia Shampoo manual cervical dis
