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...
We systematically investigated RcrR's contribution to cariogenic virulence using isogenic wild-type, DeltarcrR deletion mutant, and complemented strains. We assessed bacterial growth, biofilm architecture, acid tolerance, and H+-ATPase activity. To delineate the global regulatory network, we inte...
Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on...
Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) is an important fungal pathogen known to infect a variety of economically critical crops, especially maize, causing substantial yield reductions and economic losses worldwide. In addition to its direct damage to agricultural productivity, F. verticill...
Candida albicans, a World Health Organization critical-priority fungal pathogen, represents the predominant cause of candidemia. Therapeutic failure is sometimes driven by antifungal tolerance, a phenotype distinct from resistance, whose underlying mechanisms remain incompletely defined....
