The paper reports the cryo-EM structures of an Acinetobacter baumannii podovirus, revealing its capsid maturation mechanism and providing a reference for phage engineering.

This study identifies a novel bacterial defense mechanism where nucleoid-associated proteins detect phage-induced genome damage by relocating to the cytoplasm and activating immune effectors.

The paper identifies a regulatory circuit in mycobacteria that fine-tunes KatG expression to balance iron conservation and antioxidant defense under varying environmental conditions.

The paper identifies hyper-thermostable peptidoglycan hydrolases from bacterial proteomes using lysin-derived antimicrobial peptide screening and shows their potent bactericidal activity.
