This study identifies NMA1982 as a phosphatase in Neisseria meningitidis, showing it uses a PTP-specific catalytic mechanism and is secreted, suggesting it is a virulence factor and potential drug target.

This study evaluates a maternal vaccine against E. coli K1 in mice, showing it protects newborns from severe infections.

This study investigates the role of the pentose phosphate pathway in Francisella novicida's intracellular survival and metabolism, showing its critical connections to other metabolic pathways.

This study uses a Drosophila larval model to show that ROS-dependent innate immune mechanisms control S. aureus MRSA virulence by modulating H2O2 production and antimicrobial peptide responses.

The paper uses an air-interfaced model to show Neisseria meningitidis behaves like a commensal in mucus and is supported by Streptococcus mitis.

This study identifies a phosphorylation site on IglB that modulates Francisella T6SS assembly and function, showing that phosphorylation is critical for sheath stability and phagosomal escape.

This study shows that transketolase in S. aureus affects stress response regulators, impacting bacterial proliferation during infection.

This study shows that S. aureus isolates from CF patients have increased intracellular persistence and metabolic adaptations, suggesting an intracellular niche contributes to chronic lung infection.
