This study identifies Escherichia coli as a key driver of B cell accumulation in Peyer's patches via CXCR2-dependent mechanisms involving curli amyloid fibers and TLR2 signaling.

This study shows that the commensal fungus Candida albicans enhances Salmonella Typhimurium virulence by promoting arginine production, which in turn boosts Salmonella's ability to invade host cells and dampens the host's inflammatory response.

This study shows that A. baumannii uses ornithine to compete with gut microbiota and persist in mice, with dietary ornithine promoting its carriage.

This study shows that PgtE protease in virulent Salmonella Typhimurium helps evade complement-mediated killing by cleaving C3, enabling systemic spread.

The paper identifies IFI207 as a rapidly evolving protein that controls retroviral replication through the STING pathway, highlighting its role in host-pathogen co-evolution.
