This study identifies a c-di-AMP-controlled glutamine synthesis pathway critical for survival of Staphylococcus aureus TD-SCVs in the thymidine-limited CF lung.

This paper identifies genes essential for Staphylococcus aureus growth in CF sputum and shows that calprotectin and cysteine limit its growth.

This study shows that thymidine starvation in bacteria increases c-di-AMP, leading to STING activation and inflammation during infection.
