Pneumolysin-dependent and independent non-canonical autophagy processes mediate host defense against pneumococcal infection

Bartosz J. Michno, Niedharsan Pooranachandran, THEOBALD SMITH, Erin Faught, Sandra Lipowská, Andrew K. Fenton, Annemarie H. Meijer, Tomasz K. Prajsnar

This study identifies non-canonical autophagy pathways, including LC3-associated phagocytosis and STIL, that mediate host defense against pneumococcal infection in zebrafish.

Enterococcal cell wall remodelling underpins pathogenesis via the release of the Enteroccocal Polysaccharide Antigen (EPA)

Robert E Smith, Bartosz J. Michno, Lowrence Rene Christena, Finn O’Dea, Jessica L. Davis, Ian D. E. A. Lidbury, Marcel G. Alamán-Zárate, Danai Stefanidi, Emmanuel Maes, Hannah M. Fisher, Tomasz K. Prajsnar, Stéphane Mesnage

This paper identifies AtlE, an N-acetylmuramidase essential for virulence in E. faecalis, showing its role in cell wall remodelling and immune evasion via the release of EPA-containing fragments.
