MetabolomicsThe timing of bacterial mesophyll infection shapes the leaf chemical landscape during the interaction

Chemistry in eukaryotic intercellular spaces is shaped by both hosts and symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria. Pathogenic microorganisms like barley associated Xanthomonas translucens (Xt) swiftly overtake the inner leaf tissue becoming the dominant microbial community member during disease ...

MetabolomicsInferring metabolic mechanisms of interaction within a defined gut microbiota
The diversity and number of species present within microbial communities create the potential for a multitude of interspecies metabolic interactions. Here, we develop, apply, and experimentally test a framework for inferring metabolic mechanisms associated with interspecies interactions. We perform ...

MetabolomicsUntargeted metabolomics links glutathione to bacterial cell cycle progression
Cell cycle progression requires the coordination of cell growth, chromosome replication, and division. Consequently, a functional cell cycle must be coupled with metabolism. However, direct measurements of metabolome dynamics remained scarce, in particular in bacteria. Here, we describe an untargete...

MetabolomicsA synthetic antibiotic class with a deeply-optimized design for overcoming bacterial resistance

The lack of new drugs that are effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria has caused increasing concern in global public health. Based on this study, we report development of a modified antimicrobial drug through structure-based drug design (SBDD) and modular synthesis. The optimal modified ...

MetabolomicsTwo Poplar-Associated Bacterial Isolates Induce Additive Favorable Responses in a Constructed Plant-Microbiome System
The biological function of the plant-microbiome system is the result of contributions from the host plant and microbiome members. The Populus root microbiome is a diverse community that has high abundance of β- and γ-Proteobacteria, both classes which include multiple plant-growth promoting represen...

MetabolomicsMetabolic Rewiring of Bacterial Subpopulations Governs Polymyxin Responses in Acinetobacter baumannii
Polymyxins are often last-resort antibiotics against high-priority Gram-negative pathogens, particularly Acinetobacter baumannii. However, most mechanistic studies to date have overlooked the heterogeneity within bacterial populations during polymyxin treatment. Using time-lapse imaging and propidiu...

MetabolomicsSystematic identification of bacterial factors driving Staphylococcus aureus intracellular lifestyle in non-professional phagocytes

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen responsible for severe infections. While traditionally described as extracellular, increasing evidence establishes S. aureus as a facultative intracellular pathogen. Intracellularity contributes to immune evasion, dissemination, and antibiotic failu...

MetabolomicsComparative Metabolomic Sampling of Upper and Lower Airways by Four Different Methods to Identify Biochemicals That May Support Bacterial Growth
Bacteria need nutrients from the host environment to survive, yet we know little about which biochemicals are present in the airways (the metabolome), which of these biochemicals are essential for bacterial growth and how they change with airway disease. The aims of this pilot study were to develop ...

MetabolomicsDecoding the Human Gut Bacterial Plasmids in Colorectal Cancer
Gut plasmids show heightened sensitivity to gut microenvironmental changes compared to their bacterial hosts. To explore their significance in colorectal cancer (CRC), we analyzed metagenomic data from 863 participants (312 CRC, 387 high-risk, 164 low-risk). Plasmid and bacterial profiles were chara...
