Helicobacter pylori allelic variation in cell surface genes influences human exoproteome binding and stomach tissue adherence

This study identifies allelic variation in H. pylori cell surface genes that influence exoproteome binding and gastric tissue adherence through structural changes in lipopolysaccharide.

Magnesium depletion unleashes two unusual modes of colistin resistancewith different fitness costs

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms of colistin resistance in P. aeruginosa driven by magnesium depletion, each with different fitness costs.

Multi-omic comparative analysis of members of the Akkermansia genus reveals species-specific adaptations to growth in mucin.

This study compares four Akkermansia species to identify adaptations to mucin-rich environments, finding unique protein expression and metabolite profiles in A. muciniphila.

Enhancing protective efficacy and immunogenicity of hemagglutinin-based influenza vaccine utilizing adjuvants developed by BECC

This study evaluates BECC adjuvants' ability to enhance HA-based influenza vaccine efficacy in mice, showing improved immune responses and viral clearance.

Lipid A phosphoethanolamine transferase-mediated site-selective modifications show association with colistin resistance phenotypes and fitness

The paper identifies site-selective lipid A modifications by PETs in E. coli, linking specific phosphate modifications to colistin resistance and fitness costs.
