This study tracks within-host evolution of an avirulent Salmonella vaccine strain and finds that regulatory tuning of the BarA/SirA system reduces SPI-1ON cells without losing SPI-1 function.

The paper introduces METRIN-KG, a knowledge graph integrating plant metabolites, traits, and biotic interactions to facilitate biodiversity data analysis.

This study shows that 7-dehydroxylated bile acid production by commensal bacteria is not sufficient for colonization resistance against C. difficile, suggesting other mechanisms are involved.

This paper presents a pipeline for full-length 16S rRNA amplicon nanopore sequencing to analyze low-complexity microbiota, achieving species-level classification more accurately than short-read methods.

This paper identifies fimR2 as a stationary phase-specific sRNA in E. coli that regulates biofilm formation, motility, and virulence by modulating CsrA activity and enhancing infectivity.
