Members of the Omp85 superfamily of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) found in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts are characterized by a distinctive 16-stranded β-barrel transmembrane domain and at least one periplasmic POTRA domain. All previously studied Omp85 proteins promote c...
While bacterial metabolism is known to impact antibiotic efficacy and virulence, the metabolic capacities of individual microbes in cystic fibrosis lung infections are difficult to disentangle from sputum samples. Here, we show that untargeted metabolomic profiling of supernatants of multiple str...
Polymicrobial infections involving Staphylococcus aureus are often more severe than single-species infections. S. aureus typically initiates the infection, creating conditions that allow secondary pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa to establish. In this study, we investigate how coagulase prod...
