Cyclic di-AMP Is Critical for Listeria monocytogenes Growth, Cell Wall Homeostasis, and Establishment of Infection

mBio, 2013
Listeria monocytogenes infection leads to robust induction of an innate immune signaling pathway referred to as the cytosolic surveillance pathway (CSP), characterized by expression of beta interferon (IFN-β) and coregulated genes.

Synovial fluid proteomic biomarkers in periprosthetic joint infection: A systematic review with gene ontology and protein network analyses

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Purpose Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication of total joint arthroplasty associated with significant morbidity, implant failure and increased healthcare costs. Diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in low‐grade and culture‐negative infections, because conventional markers lack specificity.

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Investigation of Recombinantly Produced Endolysins Reveals a Modular Enzyme Shared by Several Enterobacteria Phages to Exhibit Broad‐Range Lytic Activity Against Different Orders of Gammaproteobacteria

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The recombinant endolysin El1 derived from Enterobacteria bacteriophages showed potent bactericidal activity against Gram‐negative bacteria when applied exogenously, even in the absence of membrane‐permeabilizing agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
