This study identifies 52 genes in MRSA associated with reduced vancomycin survival, emphasizing the role of prophage loci, metabolism, and stress responses over discrete resistance mechanisms.

This paper introduces a new cyclisation strategy using a bromomethyl picolinaldehyde linker to expand macrocyclic peptide topologies, leading to more potent and diverse inhibitors.

This study examines DNA methylation and transcriptional changes in S. aureus under stress, finding rare but non-random methylation shifts linked to stress response and persistence.

This paper introduces covalent macrocyclic activity-based probes (cmABPs) that selectively target non-catalytic residues in serine proteases, demonstrating their effectiveness with plasma kallikrein and urokinase plasminogen activator.

This study traces the origin and global spread of a multidrug-resistant MRSA lineage from the Indian subcontinent, showing its emergence through plasmid acquisition and intercontinental transmission.
