This study shows that L-type pyocins inhibit the BAM complex at the cell surface to kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa without entering the cell.

The paper identifies convergent evolution of D-ribulose utilisation pathways in attaching and effacing pathogens, showing how EHEC and Citrobacter rodentium exploit this nutrient for gut colonization.

The paper identifies Clostridium species that metabolize human milk oligosaccharides, producing beneficial metabolites and suppressing inflammation and pathogen growth in preterm infants.

This study shows that arabinose metabolism in enteric pathogens enhances virulence by regulating key factors, improving fitness during infection.

This study shows that D-serine induces distinct transcriptional responses in three Escherichia coli pathotypes, with no common differentially expressed genes across all strains.

The paper identifies a genomic inversion as the mechanism driving small colony variant formation and increased virulence in P. aeruginosa during chronic infection.
