   Bacteriology: How Shigella tackles host defences

   Yizhou Huang, Teresa LM Thurston

   The pathogenic bacteria Shigella avoids detection inside hosts cells by degrading RNF213, the protein responsible for sensing the presence of intracellular pathogens.

   Detecting, mapping, and suppressing the spread of a decade-long Pseudomonas aeruginosa nosocomial outbreak with genomics

   William Stribling, Lindsey R Hall ... Francois Lebreton

   Routine genomic surveillance uncovered a decades-long multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa outbreak sustained by patient reservoirs and hospital plumbing, enabling targeted infection control measures that ultimately curtailed transmission.

   Cell membrane glycan contents are biochemical factors that constitute a kinetic barrier to viral particle uptake in a protein-nonspecific manner

   Yoshihisa Kaizuka, Rika Machida

   Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.

   IFIT1 is rapidly evolving and exhibits disparate antiviral activities across 11 mammalian orders

   Matthew B McDougal, Ian N Boys ... John W Schoggins

   Evolutionary changes in RNA binding and antiviral activity result in diverse IFIT1 functions across mammals, even among closely related species.

   The capsule and genetic background, rather than specific individual loci, strongly influence in vitro pneumococcal growth kinetics

   Chrispin Chaguza, Daan W Arends ... Amelieke JH Cremers

   The pneumococcal capsular serotype and genetic background, as well as a combination of genomic loci, influence intrinsic pneumococcal growth kinetics, which may have implications for pneumococcal disease pathogenesis.
