This study identifies McpA as a chemoreceptor in Salmonella Typhimurium that mediates taxis to oxygen and reactive oxygen species, revealing the CZB domain's role in redox sensing.

The paper presents high-resolution structures of Helicobacter pylori TlpD, revealing how ligand-binding perturbations propagate through coiled-coils to regulate kinase interfaces.

This study shows that indole in feces does not protect against Salmonella infection and may instead aid pathogen survival by attracting bacteria to low-competitor-density niches.
