Heterogeneous dual-metal control of Salmonella infection

The paper shows iron and magnesium limitations control distinct Salmonella subsets during infection in mice.

A Far-Red Fluorescent Probe to Visualize Staphylococcus aureus in Patient Samples

The paper develops a far-red fluorescent probe to visualize Staphylococcus aureus in human tissue samples, demonstrating its effectiveness in multiple imaging applications.

Ectopical expression of bacterial collagen-like protein supports its role as adhesin in host-parasite coevolution

The paper demonstrates that a collagen-like protein (CLP) from Pasteuria ramosa functions as a genotype-specific adhesin in host-parasite interactions by expressing it in Bacillus thuringiensis.

Acquisition of ionic copper by a bacterial outer membrane protein

This study identifies OprC as a copper transporter in Gram-negative bacteria, showing it binds both reduced and oxidized copper through a unique metal binding site.

Efficient Dual-Negative Selection for Bacterial Genome Editing

The paper introduces a method for bacterial genome editing using dual-negative selection, enabling efficient gene deletions, insertions, and mutations in multiple bacterial species.

Type-3 Secretion System-induced pyroptosis protects Pseudomonas against cell-autonomous immunity

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses its Type-3 Secretion System to induce macrophage pyroptosis, escaping immune trapping, while T3SS-deficient strains are captured by inflammasome-mediated immunity.

A multidisciplinary approach towards identification of novel antibiotic scaffolds for Acinetobacter baumannii

This study identifies DcaP as a key outer membrane channel in Acinetobacter baumannii and explores its potential as a scaffold for new antibiotics.
