Cas12a3 nucleases constitute a distinct clade of type V CRISPR–Cas bacterial immune systems that preferentially cleave the 3′ tails of tRNAs after recognition of target RNA to induce growth arres...

Pathogens invading the intestine compete for nutrients with the resident microbiota. However, there is evidence that commensal members of the gut also provide nutritional resources to enteropathogens ...

Bornet et al. apply a low-input bacterial RNA-seq pipeline to transcriptionally profile small, medium, and large cell populations of the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron separated by fl...

Bornet et al. investigate the morphological heterogeneity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron cells observed both in laboratory culture and inside the mammalian GI tract. The authors show that cell size i...

Salmonella virulence chiefly relies upon two major pathogenicity islands, SPI-1 and SPI-2, which enable host cell invasion and intracellular survival, respectively. There has been increasing evidence ...
