This study shows that severe hypercytokinemia in COVID-19 patients impairs neutrophil and monocyte function against bacterial challenges, leading to reduced microbicidal capacity and altered receptor signaling.

The paper compares phenotypic and genotypic profiles of S. aureus colonizing and invasive isolates, finding limited genetic evolution and similar traits, with barrier disruption as key to disease progression.

This paper introduces baQFA, a low-cost high-throughput method to quantify bacterial reproductive fitness with and without antimicrobial resistance using time-lapse imaging and Gompertz modeling.
