This study investigates how Yersinia pseudotuberculosis responds to macrophage-released metabolites during growth in synthetic microcolonies, identifying nitrosative stress and itaconate as key factors.

This study shows fibrin barriers protect staphylococcal communities from vancomycin and alter their transcriptional responses.

This study shows that orthogonal cell division in Staphylococcus aureus is essential for forming abscess communities by ensuring uniform adhesin distribution and fibrin capsule assembly.

This paper investigates the spatiotemporal regulation of Sae and Agr systems in Staphylococcus aureus during kidney abscess formation, finding Sae activity is heterogeneous and required for abscess progression.

This study shows that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis growth arrest during T3SS expression reduces ribosomal protein levels and increases gentamicin tolerance.

The paper shows that loss of s2U tRNA modification in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis leads to antibiotic tolerance by reducing ribosomal protein translation.
