Inhibition of motility is a primary mechanism of protection being necessary for biofilm formation along with drastic reduction in metabolism, biosynthesis of precursors & bacterial cell components and induction of stress responses.

Collectively this results in lesser secretion of the pathognomonic cholera toxin when colonizing intestinal epithelial cells.

I am thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to be a part of the BACTORG consortium, where intersection of microbiology and oncology opens up the possibilities of unravelling microbial dimensions of cancer!

People only share their success stories, so as a beginner it can sometimes be difficult to gauge what the ground realities are.
