The paper shows that an RNA-RNA interaction within a bacterial operon represses SpoVG, affecting biofilm and cell wall properties in Staphylococcus aureus.

The paper identifies molecular features that distinguish functional from non-functional bacterial sRNA-mRNA interactions using integrative interactome and machine learning analysis.

The paper identifies an mRNA-binding motif recognized by the intrinsically disordered AR2 domain of RNase E, showing its role in substrate recognition and autoregulation.

The paper profiles Burkholderia pseudomallei variants from clinical isolates to understand colony morphotype variation (CMV) using proteomics and genomics, finding that CMV is driven by regulatory mechanisms rather than genomic mutations.

The paper identifies a prophage-encoded sRNA, HnrS, that counteracts xenogenic silencing by repressing Hha, enabling virulence gene expression in E. coli.

This study identifies molecular adaptations in Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to silver nanoparticles and ionic silver, revealing distinct defense mechanisms in two resistant variants.

This study identifies UPEC genes essential for growth and survival during the bladder infection cycle using TraDIS, revealing roles in nutrient utilization, cell envelope stress, and dispersal.
