An RNA regulates iron homeostasis and host mucus colonization in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Gianluca Prezza, Ryan T. Fansler, Thomas Guest…·Alexander J. Westermann

This study identifies an RNA that helps Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron adapt to the mucus-rich, iron-limited gut niche by regulating capsule gene expression.

An integrated transcriptomics-functional genomics approach reveals a small RNA that modulates Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron sensitivity to tetracyclines

Daniel Ryan, Elise Bornet, Gianluca Prezza…·Alexander J. Westermann

The paper identifies a small RNA, MasB, that increases Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron tolerance to tetracyclines by modulating gene expression under antibiotic stress.
