A cis-encoded RNA interaction controls sub-operonic spoVG expression in Staphylococcus aureus

The paper shows that an RNA-RNA interaction within a bacterial operon represses SpoVG, affecting biofilm and cell wall properties in Staphylococcus aureus.

Profiling of Burkholderia pseudomallei variants derived from Queensland clinical isolates

The paper profiles Burkholderia pseudomallei variants from clinical isolates to understand colony morphotype variation (CMV) using proteomics and genomics, finding that CMV is driven by regulatory mechanisms rather than genomic mutations.

Co-isolation of genetically distinct Burkholderia pseudomallei strains from a single patient in North Queensland

The paper identifies two genetically distinct Burkholderia pseudomallei strains co-isolated from a single patient and presents their multi-omics characterization.

Quorum sensing and DNA methylation play active roles in clinical Burkholderia phase variation

This study identifies quorum sensing and adenosine DNA methylation as two antagonistic systems controlling phase variation in Burkholderia ambifaria clinical isolates.
