The paper shows that IMP-1700, a ciprofloxacin analogue, increases septum formation in S. aureus, enhancing daptomycin's effectiveness against resistant strains.

This study investigates the internalization of staphylococci into osteoblasts across the genus, finding that half of the species can invade these cells via a conserved FnBP-fibronectin-5β1 integrin pathway.

This study shows that daptomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus reduces its virulence in Drosophila by increasing susceptibility to prophenoloxidase, not through reduced toxin production or immune evasion.

This study models phage-S. aureus interactions in vitro to identify resistance thresholds and optimal dosing strategies for phage therapy.

This study shows Staphylococcus aureus can enter osteoblasts without β1 integrins via vβ3/vβ5 integrins, revealing an alternative internalization pathway.
