This paper identifies and characterizes streptolancidin D, a bacteriocin in Streptococcus pneumoniae regulated by Rgg144/SHP144, which enhances intra-species competition and is effective against diverse isolates.

This study identifies simple sequence repeats in rmpA and rmpD/rmpC genes that mediate phase variation of the mucoid phenotype in hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, enabling adaptation to different infection niches.

This study evaluates a phage cocktail's efficacy against ESBL-producing Klebsiella UTIs in mice, showing reduced bacterial burden and inflammation.
