A new peptidoglycan hydrolase mined from Acinetobacter baumannii proteome by lysin-derived antimicrobial peptide-primed screening strategy undergoes a unique switch between dimer and monomer after heat treatment and protects mice from A. baumannii infection.

Nanopore sequencing effectively resolves key challenges in bacterial small variant detection, providing a more accurate alternative to traditional sequencing methods.

PEGylated PDZ peptide reduces LPS-induced systemic inflammation, restores tissue integrity, decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines, and modulates macrophage populations, showing potential as a therapeutic for systemic inflammation.

Chi3l1 binds to bacterial peptidoglycan, helping anchor and organize bacteria within the mucus layer.
