    Evolutionarily distant I domains can functionally replace the essential ligand-binding domain of Plasmodium TRAP

    Dennis Klug, Sarah Goellner ... Friedrich Frischknecht
    Exchange of the I domain in the Plasmodium surface protein TRAP against evolutionary distant I domains rescues infectivity of sporozoites.

    Neutralizing gut-derived lipopolysaccharide as a novel therapeutic strategy for severe leptospirosis

    Xufeng Xie, Xi Chen ... Yongguo Cao
    Gut dysbiosis is involved in severe leptospirosis that is related to translocated microbiota-derived lipopolysaccharide.

    An adjunctive therapy administered with an antibiotic prevents enrichment of antibiotic-resistant clones of a colonizing opportunistic pathogen

    Valerie J Morley, Clare L Kinnear ... Andrew F Read
    Cholestyramine, an FDA-approved bile acid sequestrant, can be repurposed to inactivate the antibiotic daptomycin in the gut, which prevents the emergence of transmissible antibiotic resistance in gastrointestinal Enterococcus faecium populations.

    Severe infections emerge from commensal bacteria by adaptive evolution

    Bernadette C Young, Chieh-Hsi Wu ... Daniel J Wilson
    Life-threatening S. aureus infections emerge from commensal nose bacteria in association with repeatable adaptive evolution.

    Visualizing trypanosomes in a vertebrate host reveals novel swimming behaviours, adaptations and attachment mechanisms

    Éva Dóró, Sem H Jacobs ... Maria Forlenza
    The transparent zebrafish reveals the reality of trypanosomes swimming in a vertebrate host, and their adaptations to an extremely heterogenic environment.

    Extensive remodelling of the cell wall during the development of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia

    Edward JA Douglas, Nathanael Palk ... Ruth C Massey
    The transition of Staphylococcus aureus from commensalism to invasive disease, bacteraemia, is a complex balancing act offsetting offensive and defensive virulence strategies involving the Tca cell wall stress stimulon locus.

    Promoting Fc-Fc interactions between anti-capsular antibodies provides strong immune protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Leire Aguinagalde Salazar, Maurits A den Boer ... Suzan HM Rooijakkers
    Fc engineering of monoclonal antibodies strongly improves immune clearance of pneumococcus.

    Pathogen clonal expansion underlies multiorgan dissemination and organ-specific outcomes during murine systemic infection

    Karthik Hullahalli, Matthew K Waldor
    During Escherichia coli systemic infection, the replication of a minuscule fraction of the inoculum drives organ-specific clearance failures, systemic dissemination, and stochastic infection outcomes.

    The complex relationship of exposure to new Plasmodium infections and incidence of clinical malaria in Papua New Guinea

    Natalie E Hofmann, Stephan Karl ... Ivo Mueller
    Under sustained malaria control in PNG, the incidence of distinct blood-stage infections quantifies heterogeneity in transmission, significantly predicting risk of both P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria episodes at a population and individual scale.
