Nanopore sequencing effectively resolves key challenges in bacterial small variant detection, providing a more accurate alternative to traditional sequencing methods.

A modified BPaL regimen for tuberculosis treatment replaces linezolid with inhaled spectinamides without showing linezolid associated adverse effects.

Sequence analyses show a pfhrp3 deletion mechanism involves duplication of chromosome 11 segment, which is normally removed via negative selection, and specific conditions are needed for spread including low transmission.

Chi3l1 binds to bacterial peptidoglycan, helping anchor and organize bacteria within the mucus layer.

c-di-GMP and HipH function as a toxin-antitoxin-like module to regulate persister cell formation in bacterial biofilms.

A new way to treat Zika virus infections could be achieved following the definition of an ion channel function for the M protein within virus particles.

The Braun lipoprotein is tethered to peptidoglycan independently from the insertion of newly-synthesized peptidoglycan subunits into the expanding cell wall generating a dynamic equilibrium between free and bound protein forms.

Identifying gain-of-function division variants that suppress the elongated cell division defect phenotype caused by Aeg1 depletion.

Chemokine CCL28 plays a key role in shaping neutrophil responses during intestinal Salmonella infection and lung Acinetobacter infection.

A lytic transglycosylase connects bacterial focal adhesion complexes to the peptidoglycan cell wall and thus transmits proton motive force from the inner membrane to cell surface.
