This study shows that enterobactin synthesis and uptake are essential for multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae to grow under zinc limitation, independent of iron and Zur regulation.

This study identifies key motifs in AlkX critical for ICL repair and shows a genetic variant reduces its activity, increasing bacterial sensitivity to DNA crosslinking.

This paper identifies genes essential for Staphylococcus aureus growth in CF sputum and shows that calprotectin and cysteine limit its growth.
