Bacteria form complex and highly elaborate surface adherent communities known as biofilms which are held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix.We have previously shown that by adopting a biofilm mode of existence in vivo, the gram negative bacterial pathogens Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pertussis are able to efficiently colo
Identification of putative producers of rhamnolipids/glycolipids and their transporters using genome mining
Rhamnolipids (RLs) are microbial glycolipids (GLs) with interesting structure-dependent bioactivities and physicochemical properties making them suitable for diverse medical and industrial applications.The discovery of RLs with more interesting bioactivities and properties has relied on laborious screening of new RL producers isolated from the envi
Stochastic methods defeat regular RSA exponentiation algorithms with combined blinding methods
Extra-reductions occurring in Montgomery multiplications disclose side-channel information which can be exploited even in stringent contexts.In neon catsuit this article, we derive stochastic attacks to defeat Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) with Montgomery ladder regular exponentiation coupled with base blinding.Namely, we leverage on precharacterized
Delayed presentation of bowel obstruction after abdominal blunt trauma
Blunt abdominal trauma is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction thought to arise from either a sealed perforation of the small bowel or mesenteric injury resulting in adhesions.A 55-year-old gentleman presented with symptoms and signs of small bowel obstruction and a history of blunt abdominal trauma 14 months previously.Abdominal cushcraft ar-10
