This study identifies a prophage-encoded methyltransferase, pamA, that enhances virulence in CA-MRSA by epigenetically upregulating fnbA, promoting biofilm formation and abscess size.

This study uses scRNA-seq to analyze transcriptional changes in human macrophages and Encephalitozoon intestinalis parasites during infection, revealing parasite developmental dynamics and host response.

The paper shows that heterozygosity for the ATG16L1 T300A allele protects against Salmonella infection, while homozygosity increases susceptibility.
