Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a small predatory bacterium which reproduces by invading and killing Gram-negative bacteria. The natural antimicrobial activity of B. bacteriovorus has garnered interest for the potential to develop this predatory bacterium as a therapeutic agent. Transitioning B. bacteriovorus from 'bench to bedside' will require a complete understanding of all aspects of bacterial predation, including how prey species may escape predation. Here we discuss recent findings relating to how Gram-negative bacteria may escape predation.
食菌蛭弧菌是一种小型捕食性细菌，通过侵入并杀死革兰氏阴性菌进行繁殖。食菌蛭弧菌的天然抗菌活性引发了人们的兴趣，因为有潜力将这种捕食性细菌开发成一种治疗剂。将食菌蛭弧菌从“实验室研究”转化为“临床应用”需要全面了解细菌捕食的各个方面，包括猎物物种如何逃避捕食。在这里，我们讨论了与革兰氏阴性菌如何逃避捕食相关的最新研究发现。
