    Knockdown of a regulatory barcode shifts macrophage polarization destination from M1 to M2 and increases pathogen burden upon S. aureus infection

    Sathyabaarathi Ravichandran, Bharath Bhatt ... Nagasuma Chandra
    A combination of three transcriptional regulators (CEBPB, NFE2L2, and BCL3) can shift macrophages from an M1 to an M2 phenotype, altering their susceptibility to bacterial infection.

    Quantifying microbial fitness in high-throughput experiments

    Justus Wilhelm Fink, Michael Manhart
    The choice of fitness metric is crucial in microbial ecology—commonly chosen metrics lead to different results that may affect the conclusions from pairwise competition assays and high-throughput genetic screens.

    Out-of-balance growth enables cost-free synthesis of the flagellum and other proteins in a single bacterium

    Mayra Patricia Garcia Alcala, Josiah C Kratz, Philippe Cluzel
    Surprisingly, monitoring single bacteria expressing constitutive or flagellar genes reveals faster growth, a benefit driven by inherited, cost-free growth factors, whereas bulk measurements show an expected net fitness cost.
