   Single cell analysis reveals human cytomegalovirus drives latently infected cells towards an anergic-like monocyte state

   Miri Shnayder et al.

   Single-cell and bulk expression analyses reveal that HCMV latent infection drives cells towards a weaker immune-responsive state, which is important for its expression and reactivation.

   Targeted induction of a silent fungal gene cluster encoding the bacteria-specific germination inhibitor fumigermin

   Maria Cristina Stroe et al.

   A silent gene cluster of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is activated by a bacterium and leads to the production of a novel spore germination inhibitor targeting the inducing bacterium.

   Dynamic post-translational modification profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected primary macrophages

   Jonathan M Budzik et al.

   Measurement of post-translational modifications in primary macrophages infected with Mtb revealed phosphorylation of TAX1BP1, an autophagy receptor that enables full maturation of the Mtb autophagosome.

   A widely distributed metalloenzyme class enables gut microbial metabolism of host- and diet-derived catechols

   Vayu Maini Rekdal et al.

   A previously unrecognized group of metalloenzymes enables human gut microbes to metabolize dietary molecules and neurotransmitters and likely mediates interactions and metabolism among environmental microorganisms.

   Bacterial interspecies interactions modulate pH-mediated antibiotic tolerance

   Andrés Aranda-Díaz et al.

   Shifts in pH that result from metabolic interactions between members of the Drosophila gut microbiota were sufficient to modulate Lactobacillus plantarum tolerance to the antibiotics rifampin and erythromycin.

    Potential impact of outpatient stewardship interventions on antibiotic exposures of common bacterial pathogens

    Christine Tedijanto et al.

    Antibiotic stewardship in the outpatient setting can substantially reduce exposures of potential pathogens to common antibiotics, and complementary efforts are needed to reduce remaining exposures that occur in 'necessary' contexts.
