DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-14135-9
Abstract: The ability to detect low numbers of microbial cells in food and clinical samples is highly valuable but remains a challenge. Here we present a detection system (called ‘APC-Cas’) that can detect very low numbers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-021-00997-7
Abstract: The aerial parts of plants are host to taxonomically structured bacterial communities. Members of the core phyllosphere microbiota can protect Arabidopsis thaliana against foliar pathogens. However, whether plant protection is widespread and to what extent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1007380
Abstract: A subset of intracellular pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, Shigella flexneri, Rickettsia spp., and Burkholderia spp. disseminate within nonphagocytic cells, such as epithelial and endothelial cells, through a process referred to as cell-to-cell spread [1]. These… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4329882
Abstract: Wolbachia bacterial endosymbionts provide protection against pathogens in various arthropod species but the underlying mechanisms remain misunderstood. By using a natural Wolbachia nuclear insert (f-element) in the isopod Armadillidium vulgare, we explored whether Wolbachia presence… read more here.
