TL;DR: This study integrated human epidemiological and clinical data with bacterial population genomics to harness the biodiversity of the model foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and decipher the basis of its neural and placental tropisms.

TL;DR: A novel strategy that combines positive-negative drug selection and flow cytometry-assisted sorting of fluorescent parasites for the rapid generation of drug-selectable marker-free P. berghei and P. yoelii mutant parasites expressing a GFP or a G FP-luciferase cassette is described.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed a clinically relevant experimental model of neuro-listeriosis, using hypervirulent neuroinvasive strains inoculated in a humanized mouse model of infection, and showed that the bacterial surface protein InlB protects infected monocytes from Fas-mediated cell death by CD8+ T cells in a manner that depends on c-Met, PI3 kinase and FLIP.

TL;DR: In the version of this article initially published, the titles of the x axes in Figure 5b and 5c should have been “Brain/blood CFU ratio” instead of “Blood/brain CFU ratios,” and the title of the z axis in Figure 2c should be “% of isolates” rather than “Number of isolate.”

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used Transposon Sequencing of saturated banks of mutants (TnSeq) to evaluate E. coli K1 genetic fitness in murine neonatal meningitis.
