This study identifies monoclonal antibodies targeting C. difficile's S-layer protein, revealing both protective and detrimental effects on bacterial physiology.

This paper identifies a bile-induced RND efflux pump in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron that facilitates magnesium efflux, reducing eDNA concentration and promoting biofilm formation.

The paper visualizes spatial gadB expression in E. coli O157:H7 microcolonies and shows its role in acid tolerance.

This study uses RNA-seq and time-lapse microscopy to analyze spatial and temporal gene expression in Bacillus subtilis biofilms, revealing mosaic gene expression patterns and spatially segregated metabolic states.

This study shows that extracellular succinate induces biofilm formation in C. difficile, leading to thicker, more complex biofilms associated with infection relapse.

This study identifies bile as a trigger for biofilm formation in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and shows that extracellular DNA degradation by DNase BT3563 is essential for this process.
