Microcin MccI47 selectively inhibits enteric bacteria and reduces carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization in vivo when administered via an engineered live biotherapeutic

B. M. Mortzfeld, J. D. Palmer, S. K. Bhattarai, H. L. Dupre, R. Mercado-Lubo, M. W. Silby, C. Bang, B. A. McCormick, V. Bucci

This paper demonstrates that engineered live biotherapeutic Escherichia coli producing microcin MccI47 reduces carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization in mice without disrupting the microbiota.

Paraoxonase and acylated homoserine lactones in urine from patients with urinary tract infections--relationship to microbial diversity by 16S rRNA gene sequencing

J. E. Lafleur, J. S. Meisel, S. Commichaux, R. L. E. Amdur, M. Pop, M. W. Silby

The paper investigates the relationship between paraoxonase (PON1) and acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) in urine from urinary tract infection (UTI) patients, linking PON1 presence to microbial diversity via 16S rRNA sequencing.

Interspecies Social Spreading: Interaction between two sessile soil bacteria leads to emergence of surface motility

L. M. McCully, A. S. Bitzer, S. C. Seaton, L. M. Smith, M. W. Silby

This paper studies the interaction between two soil bacteria, showing that their co-culture on hard agar leads to an emergent surface motility behavior called interspecies social spreading.
