Analysis of human cytomegalovirus-encoded glycoprotein US10 targeting human leucocyte antigen class I molecules reveals a multimodal strategy, resulting in a geno- and allotypic-dependent effects.

The pseudokinase Tribbles1 is expressed in human monocytes after mycobacterial challenge and can be manipulated to be host protective against mycobacterial infection, due to control of innate immune cell function, in a zebrafish tuberculosis model.

Escherichia coli exhibits sensitive chemotaxis to potassium, mediated by differential responses of Tar and Tsr chemoreceptors to intracellular pH changes induced by potassium concentration gradients.

Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.

Gut dysbiosis is involved in severe leptospirosis that is related to translocated microbiota-derived lipopolysaccharide.

SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces the intracellular levels of a human tRNA modification enzyme and alters host tRNA modification profiles.

The new vaccine candidate for tuberculosis displays superior protection against disease when compared the currently available vaccine, and can potentially provide new options for global childhood vaccination programs.
