    Focus Issue: Evolving our understanding of trained immunity

    Eva Kaufmann, Yahya Sohrabi ... Jos WM van der Meer
    The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a more complete understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to exploit "trained immunity" for the development of new vaccines and therapeutics.

    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.
