This study identifies mutations in ilvD, encoding a BCAA biosynthesis protein, as beneficial for pneumococcal survival in blood but detrimental for nasopharyngeal colonization.

This study shows that daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus reduces its virulence in Drosophila by increasing susceptibility to prophenoloxidase, not through reduced toxin production or immune evasion.

This study shows high-sugar diets increase susceptibility to certain bacterial infections in Drosophila by impairing antimicrobial peptide production and promoting pathogen growth.

The paper identifies regulatory regions and gene regulatory networks in Drosophila brain cell types using chromatin accessibility and transcriptome data.
