Vi-TIS improves TIS accuracy by excluding dead cells using PMA, enhancing essential gene identification and revealing new antibiotic susceptibility patterns in E. coli.

This study characterizes SeaB, a Type 5a secretion system protein in Salmonella enterica, showing its role in biofilm formation, virulence, and protective immunity in a mouse model.

The paper identifies new protein-coding sequences in E. coli using transposon mutagenesis and translation reporters, revealing previously unannotated genes.

This study shows that MCE domains in Salmonella Typhimurium are essential for bile resistance and virulence, not for cell entry or adherence.
