Use of Epivolve phage display to generate a monoclonal antibody with opsonic activity directed against a subdominant epitope on extracellular loop 4 of Treponema pallidum BamA (TP0326)

This paper uses the Epivolve phage display method to generate monoclonal antibodies targeting a subdominant epitope on Treponema pallidum BamA, showing opsonic activity in macrophage assays.

Phase variation of a signal transduction system controls Clostridioides difficile colony morphology, motility, and virulence

This paper identifies a phase-variable signal transduction system in C. difficile that controls colony morphology, motility, and virulence, with implications for bacterial survival and pathogenesis.
