Glycine fermentation by C. difficile promotes virulence, spore formation, and is induced by host cathelicidin

A. Rizvi, G. Vargas-Cuebas, A. N. Edwards, M. A. DiCandia, Z. Carter, C. D. Lee, M. P. Monteiro, S. M. McBride

This study shows that glycine fermentation by C. difficile enhances virulence, spore formation, and is triggered by host cathelicidin.

Essential gene analysis in Acinetobacter baumannii by high-density transposon mutagenesis and CRISPR interference

J. Bai, Y. Dai, A. Farinha, A. Y. Tang, S. Syal, G. Vargas-Cuebas, D. Surujon, R. R. Isberg, T. van Opijnen, E. Geisinger

This study identifies essential genes in Acinetobacter baumannii using transposon mutagenesis and a CRISPRi system, revealing new factors and conditionally essential processes.

Phase variation of a signal transduction system controls Clostridioides difficile colony morphology, motility, and virulence

E. Garrett, O. Sekulovic, D. Wetzel, J. B. Jones, A. Edwards, G. Vargas-Cuebas, S. McBride, R. Tamayo

This paper identifies a phase-variable signal transduction system in C. difficile that controls colony morphology, motility, and virulence, with implications for bacterial survival and pathogenesis.

The landscape of intrinsic and evolved fluoroquinolone resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii includes suppression of drug-induced prophage replication

E. Geisinger, G. Vargas-Cuebas, N. J. Mortman, S. Syal, E. Wainwright, D. W. Lazinski, S. Wood, Z. Zhu, J. Anthony, T. van Opijnen, R. R. Isberg

This paper identifies mutations that alter fluoroquinolone sensitivity in Acinetobacter baumannii and shows that preferential Topo IV poisoning leads to prophage induction and SOS response activation.
