New View of Cholera ‘Tail’ Could Inform Treatment m.yale.edu/dddn @guowangbiao @JunLiuLab @NatureMicrobiol

New View of Cholera ‘Tail’ Could Inform Treatment

Researchers took a detailed image of the cholera bacteria’s flagella, which could explain how they move so quickly and offer new routes for treatment.

An unexpected mechanism for population heterogeneity in the gut microbiome, led by @YaleMicroPath grad student @annapaigez and Ran Mo. cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

A commensal bacterium secretes effector proteins to establish population heterogeneity in the gut

Zagieboylo and colleagues demonstrate that the human commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron secretes two self-targeting proteins that induce heterogeneity within its own population. Differential...

Now in 3D: Yale scientists catch Legionnaires' disease ‘in the act’

The Yale labs of Craig Roy and Jun Liu have harnessed the power of cryo-EM to solve a 30-year mystery of how the Legionella bacteria works

@Kuldeep_R_Gupta, working together with @celenagwin, discovered that a protein of unknown function in mycobacteria (PgfA) is recruited to one side of the cell by our favorite protein LamA, where it coordinates lipid trafficking and fast polar growth

With aerosol transmission and an infectious dose of fewer than 10 bacteria, Coxiella burnetii constitutes one of the most infectious and transmissive bacterial pathogens. We used Cryo-ET to shed light on the mysterious nature of C. burnetii. #teamtomo journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
