The Bacillus subtilis cell envelope stress-inducible ytpAB operon modulates membrane properties and contributes to bacitracin resistance

This paper shows that the ytpAB operon, induced by cell wall inhibitors, helps Bacillus subtilis resist bacitracin by modulating membrane properties and interacting with resistance proteins.

Vaginal Lactobacillus fatty acid response mechanisms reveal a novel strategy for bacterial vaginosis treatment

This study identifies oleic acid as a compound that inhibits L. iners and promotes L. crispatus growth, offering a potential new treatment strategy for bacterial vaginosis.
