Colonization and Dissemination of Klebsiella pneumoniae is Dependent on Dietary Carbohydrates

This study identifies dietary simple carbohydrates as critical for Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization and shows dietary fiber's role in preventing its dissemination during colitis.

Bacterial cell widening alters periplasmic size and activates envelope stress responses

This study shows that changes in bacterial cell width affect periplasmic thickness and activate the Rcs stress response system through RcsF.

Functional determinants of a small protein repressor controlling a broadly conserved bacterial sensor kinase

This study investigates how mutations in MgrB affect its ability to inhibit PhoQ, revealing key residues and regions critical for its function.

Effects of regulatory network organization and environment on PmrD connector activity and polymyxin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli

This study investigates how regulatory network organization and environmental factors influence PmrD connector activity and polymyxin resistance in K. pneumoniae and E. coli.
