This study uses proteomics and independent component analysis to show ClpX regulates S. aureus responses to iron and oxygen limitation and affects bacterial fitness and virulence.

This study shows that SKP2 limits autophagy during S. aureus infection by stabilizing and translocating to the cytoplasm, reducing LC3-II levels and intracellular bacterial survival.

This study identifies novel human substrates of Staphylococcus aureus protease SplB, revealing its cleavage of intermediate filaments and IgG, suggesting roles in immune evasion and tissue invasion.

The paper characterizes a mouse-adapted Staphylococcus aureus strain JSNZ through genomic and proteomic analysis, identifying it as a valuable reference strain for infection research.

This study identifies podocyte exopher-formation as a novel mechanism for removing antigen/autoantibody aggregates in membranous nephropathy, with potential for non-invasive monitoring.

This study identifies unique pathogenic markers in Klebsiella pneumoniae through multi-omics analysis, suggesting potential novel antimicrobial targets.
