    The repurposing of Tebipenem pivoxil as alternative therapy for severe gastrointestinal infections caused by extensively drug-resistant Shigella spp

    Elena Fernández Álvaro, Phat Voong Vinh ... Stephen Baker
    The oral carbapenem 'Tebipenem' has high level antibacterial activity against highly drug-resistant Shigella, and its mode of action and pharmacokinetics make it suitable for the treatment of severe diarrhoea caused by highly drug-resistant bacteria.

    Bacterial vampirism mediated through taxis to serum

    Siena J Glenn, Zealon Gentry-Lear ... Arden Baylink
    Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.

    Experimental evaluation of the importance of colonization history in early-life gut microbiota assembly

    Inés Martínez, Maria X Maldonado-Gomez ... Jens Walter
    Experiments in ex-germ-free mice establish a measurable effect of colonization history on gut microbiota assembly, illuminating a potential cause for the high levels of unexplained individuality in host-associated microbial communities.

    What fraction of cellular DNA turnover becomes cfDNA?

    Ron Sender, Elad Noor ... Yuval Dor
    Comparing tissue-specific plasma cfDNA concentration with cellular turnover rates reveals that less than 10% of dying cells' DNA reaches plasma, highlighting significant local clearance mechanisms and suggesitng approaches to enhance liquid biopsy sensitivity.

    FoxA1 and FoxA2 drive gastric differentiation and suppress squamous identity in NKX2-1-negative lung cancer

    Soledad A Camolotto, Shrivatsav Pattabiraman ... Eric L Snyder
    Lineage specifiers FoxA1 and FoxA2 control lung cancer growth and identity by activating gastric differentiation and suppressing squamous cell carcinoma transdifferentiation.

    Bidirectional interactions between indomethacin and the murine intestinal microbiota

    Xue Liang, Kyle Bittinger ... Garret A FitzGerald
    Indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, alters the composition of the intestinal microbiota, and the intestinal microbiota affect the pharmacokinetics of indomethacin.
