Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...
Rapid detection of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is essential for effective clinical management and surveillance. This study investigated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as phenotypic biomarkers of carbapenem resistance, with the goal of developing a translationally...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and bacteraemia and is capable of remarkable phenotypic plasticity, responding rapidly to environmental change. Pneumococcus is a nasopharyngeal commensal, but is responsible for severe, acute infections followin...
BolA has been characterized as an important transcriptional regulator, which is induced in the stationary phase of growth and is often associated with bacterial virulence. This study was initiated to elucidate the role of the BolA in the virulence of K. pneumoniae. Using a mous...
The Antibiotic Resistant Sepsis Pathogens Framework Initiative aims to develop a framework dataset of 5 sepsis pathogens (5 strains each) using an integrated application of genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic technologies. The pathogens included in this initiative are: Escheric...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common respiratory infection in children. Yet the mechanisms driving its progression to severe disease remain poorly understood. This study employs a comprehensive proteomic and metabolomic approach to elucidate severity-related pathways and identify pot...
