This study identifies distinct subpopulations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that use different virulence factors to cause tissue damage during infection.

The paper identifies tRNA-modification requirements for bacterial virulence by analyzing codon usage in Salmonella and confirms their impact on gene expression and pathogenicity.

The paper shows that chronic gut inflammation drives bacterial and prophage hybridization in E. coli, leading to new genetic lineages associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

This study identifies pathways in P. aeruginosa that confer resistance to T6SS effectors from Acinetobacter baylyi and Vibrio cholerae, revealing links between T6SS resistance and antibiotic susceptibility.

The paper maps Staphylococcus aureus microgeography in human tissue using AI-guided imaging and finds antibiotic failure is linked to intracellular bacterial persistence and metabolic constraints.

The paper shows iron and magnesium limitations control distinct Salmonella subsets during infection in mice.
