Visualizing phenotypic heterogeneity in C. difficile gene expression in situ during infection
What happens when you can see bacterial gene expression in situ inside an infected host? By developing fluorescent reporters, we visualized Clostridioides difficile toxin gene expression, revealing unexpected biology that only emerges in the bacterium’s native context of infection.
Cytomegalovirus Disease in Renal Allograft Recipients in the Current Immunosuppression Era
We aimed to determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients in the era of imunosuppression, to determine the incidence of CMV recurrence in renal transplant recipients.
Host Cell Metabolism Goes Viral: Unveiling How HEV Hijacks Your Cells
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute and chronic hepatitis, with severity depending on the viral genotype. HEV-1 infection can be particularly severe during pregnancy, whereas HEV-3 is typically mild, except in elderly or immunocompromised individuals.
