Current Biology, 26(24), 3343-3351. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.09.067Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are predatory bacteria that invade and kill a range of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens in natural environments and in vitro [ 1 and 2]. In this study, we investigated Bdellovibrio as an injected, antibacterial treatment i...

Scientific Reports, 6:26010(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep26010The peptidoglycan wall, located in the periplasm between the inner and outer membranes of the cell envelope in Gram-negative bacteria, maintains cell shape and endows osmotic robustness. Predatory Bdellovibrio bacteria invade the periplasm of other b...
