Manganese has an important yet undefined role in the virulence of many bacterial pathogens. In this study we confirm that a null mutation in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis mntH reduces intracellular manganese accumulation.

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

A 310‐helix‐mediated conformational switch promotes a front‐face SNi‐like catalysis by human A4GALT. Mechanism‐guided design identifies AdaGalCer as a selective modulator of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) biosynthesis, opening a clear route toward new Fabry disease therapeutics.

Vibrio cholerae CsrA controls ToxR levels by increasing the stability and translation of toxR mRNA
Intestinal colonization and virulence factor production in response to environmental cues is mediated through several regulatory factors in Vibrio cholerae, including the highly conserved RNA-binding global regulatory protein CsrA.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently associated with polymicrobial biofilms involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interactions between these organisms are thought to influence disease severity, but the epithelial effects of exoproteins derived from patient‐matched cocultures remain poorly defined ...

KO‐NH2 is a synthetic metallophore that preferentially binds Ga3+ over Fe3+ and is recognized by bacterial transporters. Photocrosslinking identifies CirA and Fiu as key uptake proteins in E. coli. KO‐NH2 enables targeted imaging and treatment of E. coli soft tissue infections.

Egy virulencia regulátor mutáns Salmonella enterica törzs mint kereszt-immunitást biztosító orális vakcina jelölt vizsgálata = Investigation of a virulence regulator mutant strain of Salmonella enterica as a candidate for live oral vaccine providing cross-immunity [PDF]
Kutatásaink során egy Salmonella rfaH mutánst mint potenciális vakcina jelöltet vizsgáltunk több aspektusból. Mivel az RfaH fehérje egy transzkripciós regulátor, vizsgáltuk, hogy mely virulencia faktorokra kifejtett hatása okozza a vakcina törzs ...

Quorum sensing regulation by the nitrogen phosphotransferase system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
In the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the nitrogen-related phosphotransferase system (PTSNtr) influences multiple virulence behaviors. The PTSNtr is comprised of three enzymes: first PtsP, then the PtsO phosphocarrier, and the final PtsN ...
