This study demonstrates that the peptide-mimetic TM5 effectively kills Pseudomonas aeruginosa in vitro and reduces bacterial load in a mouse model of infection with low toxicity.

The paper infects genetically diverse Collaborative Cross mice with MRSA to identify host genetic factors influencing infection outcomes, finding distinct phenotypes and candidate genes associated with susceptibility, tolerance, and resistance.

This paper tracks microbiota development in chicks using taxonomic and metagenomic analyses, showing pathogen-induced changes and identifying amino acid biosynthesis as critical for Salmonella colonization.

This study shows that Borrelia burgdorferi activates type I interferon responses through the cGAS-STING pathway in mammalian cells.
