GlpR Regulates Motility and Viscoelasticity Properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Nicholas J. Evans, Hernan E. Grenett, Priscilla Grenett, Jessica A. Scoffield

This study shows that GlpR regulates motility and viscoelasticity in P. aeruginosa, contributing to its persistence in CF airways.

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of the oral microbiomes of children with noma reveals a novel disease-associated organism

Michael Olaleye, Angus M. O’Ferrall, Richard N. Goodman, Deogracia Wa Kabila, Miriam Peters, Grégoire Falq, Joseph Samuel, Donal Doyel, Diana I. Gomez, Gbemisola Oloruntuyi, Shafi’u Isah, Adeniyi Semiyu Adetunji, Elise Farley, Nicholas J. Evans, Mark Sherlock, , Stuart Ainsworth

This study uses shotgun metagenomic analysis of oral saliva from children with noma to identify Treponema sp. A as a novel disease-associated organism and highlights antimicrobial resistance concerns.

Activation of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Glycerol Regulon Promotes Antibiotic Persistence and Modulates Virulence Phenotypes

Nicholas J. Evans, Jessica A. Scoffield

This study shows that loss of GlpR increases antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa CF isolates, suggesting the glycerol regulon promotes persistence in the CF airway.
