Cpx‐mediated amino acid sensing diversifies gastrointestinal colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram‐negative opportunistic pathogenic bacterium that occasionally inhabits the human gastrointestinal tracts. Gut‐colonized K. pneumoniae may then metastasize to other organs and tissues, thus causing severe infections. In this study, we identified three cpxA mutations in K. pneumoniae that experimentally evolved to

This study reveals the regulatory mechanism behind sugar metabolism and dextran synthesis by Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides DSM20193 during the fermentation of a complex substrate like brewers spent grain. Understanding metabolic pathways and genetic adaptation of lactic acid bacteria in food environments can help develop fermented products with ...

All 32 diguanylate cyclase (DGC)‐encoding genes of P. aeruginosa PA14 were interrupted by premature STOP codons, introduced through a multiplexed cytosine base‐editor. The synthesis of c‐di‐GMP was impaired in the resulting strain lacking all 32 DGCs (strain PA14Δ32). Phenotypic analysis confirmed major behaviour changes in P. aeruginosa PA14Δ32, which

This work demonstrates that DNA polymerase IV dinB favors the adaptive fitness of mcr‐carrying bacteria via a negative feedback regulatory mechanism. Specifically, the elevation of ROS production by intact mcr activates dinB, which in turn represses the mcr expression, maintaining a balance between colistin resistance and bacterial fitness.
