The paper shows ALDH2 deficiency enhances anti-bacterial immunity by increasing aldehyde levels that kill pathogens and boost inflammatory responses.

This study shows that mycobacteria form intracellular lipid inclusions during active replication without environmental stressors, challenging the link between ILI and non-replicating persistence.

This study uses high-throughput phenogenotyping to link Mtb genetic variants to clinical outcomes, identifying bacterial traits associated with treatment failure and transmission.

The paper investigates the distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 4 in Southeast Asia using genomic data, finding that most L4 sub-clades in the region have no recent European origin and may involve China as an intermediate.

This study introduces an MDK assay to quantify rifampicin susceptibility in M. tuberculosis isolates, showing variation in killing times and correlation with tolerant subpopulations.

This study identifies and validates lipocalin 2 (LCN2) as a sensitive and specific biomarker for bacterial meningitis in cerebrospinal fluid.
