CLR-seq identifies bacterial species with immune-relevant glycans by using C-type lectin receptors and 16S rRNA sequencing in human microbiota samples.

This paper introduces a monoclonal antibody-based serotyping method for Listeria monocytogenes that improves discrimination of serovars, revealing SV1/2*, SV3, and SV7 in previously classified isolates.

This study identifies novel bacterial pathways involved in phage resistance in Staphylococcus aureus and shows how these mutations affect antibiotic susceptibility and virulence.

This paper describes an experimental pipeline for generating human monoclonal antibodies against bacterial pathogens using synthetic glycan fragments, identifying functional antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.

The paper identifies genetic variation in the gacA-L cluster of S. pyogenes and shows that inactivating mutations in gacH reduce GroP decoration, affecting host-pathogen interactions.

This study identifies a conserved glycan motif in Streptococcus suis that elicits broadly reactive antibodies, suggesting it as a target for next-generation vaccines.

This study identifies ArlRS as essential for regulating β1,4-GlcNAc decoration of wall teichoic acids in S. aureus through MgrA, affecting phage lysis and host receptor interactions.

This study shows that S. aureus wall teichoic acid is recognized by langerin on human Langerhans cells, driving Th1/Th17 responses and inflammation in skin diseases.
