Acinetobacter baumannii causes life-threatening infections that are becoming difficult to treat due to increasing rates of multi-drug resistance (MDR) among clinical isolates. This has led the World Health Organization and...

can cause prolonged infections that disproportionately affect immunocompromised populations. Our understanding of respiratory pathogenesis relies on an acute murine infection model with limited clinical relevance that employs an unnaturally high...

Due to the rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections, the last-line antibiotics, polymyxins, have resurged in the clinics in parallel with new bacterial strategies of escape. The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen develops...

Due to multi-drug resistance, physicians increasingly use the last-resort antibiotic colistin to treat infections with the Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae. Unfortunately, K. pneumoniae can also develop colistin resistance. Interestingly, colistin...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, is a leading cause of bacteremia with a high mortality rate. We recently reported that P. aeruginosa forms a persister-like sub-population of evaders in...

Bloodstream infections (BSI) with Pseudomonas aeruginosa account for 8.5% of all BSIs, their mortality rate, at about 40%, is the highest among causative agents. For this reason and due to...

The elongasome, or Rod system, is a protein complex that controls cell wall formation in rod-shaped bacteria. MreC is a membrane-associated elongasome component that co-localizes with the cytoskeletal element MreB...
