This study shows that RNA quality control through rny mutations enables antibiotic tolerance in Streptococcus pneumoniae by balancing transcriptional resilience and degradation.

This study identifies and characterizes 69 SARS-CoV-2 persistent infections in California using genomic and epidemiologic data, revealing demographic differences and mutations linked to immune evasion and variant emergence.

The paper shows that filamentous phages in Pseudomonas aeruginosa can reduce host and phage fitness through hyperactivation and subsequent miniphage invasion.
