The paper introduces pTOX vectors for scarless allelic exchange in Proteobacteria, enabling efficient gene modification and antibiotic resistance studies.

This study identifies IbaG, a BolA-like protein in V. cholerae, as critical for cell shape and envelope integrity through its role in iron-sulfur cluster protein biogenesis.

This study uses transposon-insertion sequencing to identify genes required for EHEC growth in vitro and in vivo, revealing new factors critical for intestinal colonization.

This study shows that the live-attenuated cholera vaccine HaitiV provides protection against V. cholerae in mice and their offspring through immunological mechanisms, not vaccine transmission.

This study identifies genetic factors in Vibrio cholerae that contribute to penicillin tolerance and post-antibiotic recovery.

The paper uses a CRISPR screen to identify host factors critical for EHEC infection, finding shared dependencies between T3SS and Shiga toxin.

This paper introduces a method to infer microbial ecological networks from steady-state data without assuming population dynamics models, validated on simulated and experimental datasets.
