Bacteriocin production in Streptococcus gallolyticus by a complex 4-component regulatory system with activator and anti-activator activities

This paper identifies a 4-component regulatory system in Streptococcus gallolyticus that controls gallocin production through activator and anti-activator proteins.

An original model of brain infection identifies the hijacking of host lipoprotein import as a bacterial strategy for blood-brain barrier crossing.

The paper identifies lipoprotein import hijacking as a bacterial strategy for crossing the blood-brain barrier using a Drosophila model and validates it in a murine system.
