A new model of endotracheal tube biofilm identifies combinations of matrix-degrading enzymes and antimicrobials able to eradicate biofilms of pathogens that cause ventilator-associated pneumonia

This paper introduces an in vitro model of endotracheal tube biofilms that demonstrates the effectiveness of combining matrix-degrading enzymes with antimicrobials to eradicate pathogens causing ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Helical Ordering of Envelope Associated Proteins and Glycoproteins in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Filamentous Virions

This study uses cryoEM and cryoET to reveal helical symmetry in RSV virions, showing how M proteins and glycoproteins are organized and their implications for vaccine targets.
