Single-cell analysis of the interactions between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and macrophages

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a highly effective pathogen infecting nearly a third of the world's population. An M. tuberculosis infection starts when droplets containing bacteria enter an individual's lungs. The first host cells to contact the bacteria ar ...

CSF-contacting neurons respond to Streptococcus pneumoniae and promote host survival during central nervous system infection

Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser

The pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) can invade the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cause meningitis with devastating consequences. Whether and how sensory cells in the central nervous system (CNS) become activated during bacteri ...

Fluorescent D-Amino Acids for Super-resolution Microscopy of the Bacterial Cell Wall

Mischa André Meyer, Faustine Ambroisine Charline Ryckebusch, Suliana Manley, Luc Reymond, Chen Zhang, Juliette Griffie, Willi Leopold Stepp, Ophélie Rutschmann, Jiangtao Qiao

Fluorescent D-amino acids (FDAAs) have previ-ously been developed to enable in situ highlighting of locations of bacterial cell wall growth. Most bacterial cells lie at the edge of the diffraction limit of visible light; thus, resolving the precise details ...

The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries

Gergely Odor

Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...

Nano-sized iron oxides supported on polyester textile to remove fluoroquinolones in hospital wastewater

Sami Rtimi

In this study, we examined the removal kinetics of two fluoroquinolones (FQs), flumequine (FLU) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), in synthetic wastewater (SWW) and real hospital wastewater (RHW) using FeOx thin films, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and visible light. Nano ...

Development of 3,5-Dinitrobenzylsulfanyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and Thiadiazoles as Selective Antitubercular Agents Active Against Replicating and Nonreplicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat, Edina Rita Székely

Herein, we report the discovery and structure activity relationships of 5-substituted-2-[(3,5-dinitrobenzyl)-sulfanyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles as a new class of antituberculosis agents. The majority of these compounds exhibited outstanding ...

Genetic, molecular and physiological basis of variation in Drosophila gut immunocompetence

Bruno Lemaitre, Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Andreas Massouras, Dani Osman

Gut immunocompetence involves immune, stress and regenerative processes. To investigate the determinants underlying inter-individual variation in gut immunocompetence, we perform enteric infection of 140 Drosophila lines with the entomopathogenic bacterium ...

Control of M. tuberculosis ESAT-6 secretion and specific T cell recognition by PhoP

Stewart Cole

Analysis of mycobacterial strains that have lost their ability to cause disease is a powerful approach to identify yet unknown virulence determinants and pathways involved in tuberculosis pathogenesis. Two of the most widely used attenuated strains in the ...
