This paper shows that IscR, an iron-sulfur cluster sensor, regulates virulence gene expression in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis by responding to iron and oxygen levels, with mutations altering infection dynamics.

This study shows that small bacterial founder populations independently colonize intestinal and systemic tissues during Yersinia infection, with TNF signaling restricting dissemination.

This study models Pseudomonas aeruginosa gastrointestinal carriage in mice using vancomycin pretreatment and identifies the stomach as a major barrier to colonization.

This study shows that reduced motility in Vibrio cholerae decreases inter-animal transmission, while increased motility enhances transmission efficiency in mice.

This study tracks Klebsiella pneumoniae dissemination from the lung using barcoding, revealing two distinct patterns of bacterial spread and their associated host and bacterial factors.

This study identifies key RNA-binding residues in E. coli ProQ's FinO domain through genetic and biochemical assays, revealing conserved and variable residues involved in RNA interactions.
