This study shows that non-redundant DMSO reductases in S. Typhimurium enhance anaerobic growth and virulence by supporting electron acceptor function and type-3 secretion systems.

This study identifies Salmonella Typhimurium genes that affect the neutrophil respiratory burst and links sulfate import to bacterial aggregation and adherence.

The paper identifies phage proteins that block or trigger retron toxin/antitoxin systems in bacteria, revealing their role in anti-phage defense.

The paper identifies retrons as a novel family of tripartite toxin/antitoxin systems in bacteria, with the reverse transcriptase and msDNA functioning as antitoxin components.
