De novo mutations mediate phenotypic switching in an opportunistic human lung pathogen

A. J. Poret, M. M. Schaefers, C. Merakou, K. E. Mansour, G. K. Lagoudas, A. R. Cross, J. B. Goldberg, R. Kishony, A. Z. Uluer, A. J. McAdam, P. C. Blainey, S. O. Vargas, T. D. Lieberman, G. P. Priebe

This study shows that de novo mutations in Burkholderia dolosa cause phenotypic switching, with O-antigen loss increasing immune cell uptake but reducing lung competitiveness, depending on infection duration and tissue localization.

Multicomponent Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccines eliciting Th17 cells and functional antibody responses confer enhanced protection against experimental acute pneumonia in mice

M. O. F. Shaikh, M. M. Schaefers, C. Merakou, M. DiBlasi, S. Bonney, T. Liao, D. Zurakowski, M. Kehl, D. E. Tabor, A. DiGiandomenico, G. P. Priebe

This study evaluates a multicomponent Pseudomonas aeruginosa vaccine combining PopB/PcrH and OprF/I, showing enhanced protection against pneumonia in mice through Th17 responses and functional antibodies.
