   Obtaining maximum information from colony counts with REPOP

   Pedro Pessoa, Carol Yunxiao Slayton ... Steve Presse

   Conventional colony counting obscures bacterial population structure by conflating biological heterogeneity with stochastic noise from dilution and plating, which can be separated by explicitly modeling the measurement process.

   The structural context of mutations in proteins predicts their effect on antibiotic resistance

   Anna G Green, Mahbuba Tasmin ... Maha Reda Farhat

   Spatial clustering of mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins finds proteins that are involved in antibiotic resistance, and predicts which mutations cause resistance.

   Human CD1c-autoreactive T-cells recognise Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected antigen-presenting cells and display cytotoxic effector programmes

   Matthew Milton, Sahar H Farag ... Salah Mansour

   CD1c-autoreactive T-cells couple infection-associated lipid recognition with cytotoxic and antimicrobial activity, revealing a previously underappreciated arm of human immunity to tuberculosis.

   Distinct allosteric remodeling of HIV-1 Env dynamics on virions by gp41-directed antibodies reveals two modes of neutralization

   Wang Xu, Narendra Kumar Gonepudi ... Maolin Lu

   Antibodies can target multiple conformational states of the HIV envelope to block viral entry, broadening the mechanisms underlying neutralization.

    The type VI secretion system governs strain maintenance in a wild mammalian gut microbiome

    Beth A Shen, Kyle L Asfahl ... Joseph D Mougous

    A type VI secretion system transferred between gut bacteria via a mobile genetic element stabilizes its native host strain, but yields only transient benefits in a new species.
