Variation in supplemental carbon dioxide requirements defines lineage-specific antibiotic resistance acquisition in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

This study shows that metabolic variation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, specifically CO2 dependence linked to a beta-carbonic anhydrase mutation, influences the likelihood of acquiring ciprofloxacin resistance.

The Shigella type III effector protein OspB is a cysteine protease

This paper identifies OspB as a cysteine protease in Shigella spp. and shows it interacts with the TORC1 pathway in yeast through proteolytic cleavage of Tco89p.
