New York City (NYC) has emerged as one of the epicenters of the current severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. To identify the early transmission …

Resistance of Lactococcus lactis to cytotoxic compounds shares features with the multidrug
resistance phenotype of mammalian tumor cells. Here, we report the gene cloning and …

K. pneumoniae sequence type 258 (Kp ST258) is a major cause of healthcare-associated
pneumonia. However, it remains unclear how it causes protracted courses of infection in spite …

Current in vivo models for investigating human primary bone tumors and cancer metastasis
to the bone rely on the injection of human cancer cells into the mouse skeleton. This …

Studies of mRNA turnover in B. subtilis are less well known than in E. coli. Here we provide
researchers who have an interest in gram‐positive RNA processing with several protocols for …

Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile is a leading cause of healthcare-associated
infections. Although considerable progress has been made in the understanding of its genome, …

Four 3′-to-5′ exoribonucleases have been identified in Bacillus subtilis: polynucleotide
phosphorylase (PNPase), RNase R, RNase PH, and YhaM. Mutant strains were constructed …

Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death globally. Understanding the population dynamics
of TB’s causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (Mtbc) in-host is vital for …

The immunogenicity of transplanted allogeneic cells and tissues is a major hurdle to the
advancement of cell therapies. Here we show that the overexpression of eight …

A strain of Bacillus subtilis lacking two 3′-to-5′ exoribonucleases, polynucleotide
phosphorylase (PNPase) and RNase R, was used to purify another 3′-to-5′ exoribonuclease, …
