    A pH-sensitive switch activates virulence in Salmonella

    Dasvit Shetty, Linda J Kenney
    A single conserved residue – histidine 12 – confers pH-sensitive DNA binding to the Salmonella Typhimurium SPI-2 transcriptional regulator SsrB, thereby regulating Salmonella virulence.

    Rapid geographical source attribution of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis genomes using hierarchical machine learning

    Sion C Bayliss, Rebecca K Locke ... Lauren A Cowley
    Application of hierarchical machine learning to the geographical source attribution of Salmonella enteritidis indicates high utility for the rapid translation of raw pathogen genome sequencing data into accurate and actionable information for disease management in public health.

    Revealing druggable cryptic pockets in the Nsp1 of SARS-CoV-2 and other β-coronaviruses by simulations and crystallography

    Alberto Borsatto, Obaeda Akkad ... Francesco Luigi Gervasio
    A combination of simulations and experiments was used to discover druggable cryptic pockets in non-structural protein 1, a promising but difficult target for coronaviruses, indicating a viable drug discovery approach for otherwise undruggable targets.

    Structure of SARS-CoV-2 M protein in lipid nanodiscs

    Kimberly A Dolan, Mandira Dutta ... Stephen G Brohawn
    A cryo-EM structure of the SARS-CoV-2 M protein, the most abundant protein in the viral envelope, provides insight into its essential role in virus assembly.

    Typhoid toxin sorting and exocytic transport from Salmonella Typhi-infected cells

    Shu-Jung Chang, Yu-Ting Hsu ... Jorge E Galan
    A multidisciplinary approach provides a description of the exocytic pathway that exports Salmonella Typhi's typhoid toxin from infected cells.

    Early life infection and proinflammatory, atherogenic metabolomic and lipidomic profiles in infancy: a population-based cohort study

    Toby Mansell, Richard Saffery ... Barwon Infant Study Investigator Group
    More parent-reported infections in the first year of life were associated with metabolic differences linked with cardiovascular and metabolic disease in adulthood, with observational evidence for inflammation partly mediating this relationship.

    Host ecology regulates interspecies recombination in bacteria of the genus Campylobacter

    Evangelos Mourkas, Koji Yahara ... Samuel K Sheppard
    Horizontal gene transfer can potentially merge genomes from distinct bacterial species, but isolation in different hosts creates a physical barrier to gene flow.

    External validation of a mobile clinical decision support system for diarrhea etiology prediction in children: A multicenter study in Bangladesh and Mali

    Stephanie Chow Garbern, Eric J Nelson ... Daniel T Leung
    A smartphone app incorporating clinical prediction models using patient-specific and location-specific data sources in a modular approach could predict viral-only etiology of diarrhea in children under five in Bangladesh and Mali.

    RNase III-mediated processing of a trans-acting bacterial sRNA and its cis-encoded antagonist

    Sarah Lauren Svensson, Cynthia Mira Sharma
    Functional characterization of a pair of cis-encoded antisense RNAs reveals a role for RNase III and antisense regulation in the biogenesis and regulatory activity of a bacterial virulence factor-regulating small RNA.
