The paper identifies host translation perturbations that promote TnSmu1 loss in Streptococcus mutans independent of the canonical ImmA regulator.

This study identifies 146 genes in Streptococcus sanguinis essential for infective endocarditis fitness, revealing conserved pathways and potential therapeutic targets.

The paper generates essential gene deletion mutants in Streptococcus sanguinis and identifies suppressor mutations through experimental evolution, revealing new gene and pathway relationships.

The paper describes a method to achieve high-efficiency targeted transgene integration in zygotes, producing non-mosaic transgenic animals without requiring mosaic breeding.

This study identifies SSA_0451 as a novel virulence factor in Streptococcus sanguinis that enhances survival in blood by mitigating oxidative and environmental stress.
