This study identifies two mechanisms of cefiderocol resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: cAMP signalling disruption and Hfq RNA-binding domain truncation, both linked to iron homeostasis and reduced drug activity.

This study identifies genes essential for two P. multocida strains to survive in mice, revealing differential requirements for systemic infection despite shared growth genes.

This study identifies the molecular function and delivery determinants of the T6SS effector Tae17 in Acinetobacter baumannii, showing it is a bifunctional peptidoglycan hydrolase with lytic transglycosylase and amidase activities.

The paper presents the structure of Tse15, a T6SS Rhs effector from Acinetobacter baumannii, revealing a novel mechanism for toxin delivery and activation involving auto-cleavage and domain interaction.
