High-Throughput Profiling of Bacterial Respiration Using the Resipher Reveals Functional Responses to Nutrients and Antibiotics

The paper develops a high-throughput method to profile bacterial respiration using the Resipher, showing it can detect functional responses to nutrients and antibiotics.

Selective inhibition of respiratory complex I reveals a bioenergetic vulnerability in Francisella

This study identifies respiratory complex I as a selective vulnerability in Francisella and shows that tolfenpyrad inhibits it with species-specific antibacterial activity.

Sustained Improvements in Student Outcomes Following Integration of Clinical Case Narratives in Veterinary Microbiology Curriculum

This study shows that integrating clinical case narratives into veterinary microbiology education improves student engagement, critical thinking, and performance without grade inflation.

Targeting deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) and ubiquitin pathway modulators to enhance host defense against bacterial infections

This study identifies DUB inhibitors that enhance bacterial clearance in Salmonella infections and shows their potential as host-directed therapies against antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Pathogenicity determinant protein E is a Francisella type VI secretion system effector protein that modulates host death

This study identifies PdpE as a Francisella T6SS effector that modulates host cell death by suppressing the macrophage type I interferon response.
