Identification of Siderophores with Unexpected Antibacterial Properties from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus

This study identifies siderophores from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus with antibacterial properties, showing activity against Gram-positive bacteria through a metal-dependent mechanism.

Short-term alterations in dietary amino acids override host genetic susceptibility and reveal mechanisms of Salmonella Typhimurium small intestine colonization

The paper shows that a diet rich in L-amino acids overrides genetic resistance in mice, promoting Salmonella Typhimurium ileal colonization through microbiota-dependent mechanisms.
