   Substrate stiffness impacts early biofilm formation by modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa twitching motility

   Sofia Gomez, Lionel Bureau ... Sigolene Lecuyer

   The spatial organization of pathogenic bacteria into microcolonies can be shaped by the stiffness of the substrate that they colonize, via modifications of the bacterial motility.

   A high-throughput cytotoxicity screening platform reveals agr-independent mutations in bacteraemia-associated Staphylococcus aureus that promote intracellular persistence

   Abderrahman Hachani, Stefano G Giulieri ... Timothy P Stinear

   Staphylococcus aureus switches from innocuous coloniser to invasive human pathogen, the bacterial population can accumulate pathoadaptive mutations that reduce bacterial toxicity whilst allowing persistence within infected cells, potentially leading to severe human infections.

   The large GTPase Sey1/atlastin mediates lipid droplet- and FadL-dependent intracellular fatty acid metabolism of Legionella pneumophila

   Dario Hüsler, Pia Stauffer ... Hubert Hilbi

   Intracellular growth of the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila in the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum implicates a bacterial fatty acid transporter as well as dynamic interactions of the distinct membrane-bound replication compartment with host cell lipid droplets.
