Adaptation of Arginine Synthesis among Uropathogenic Branches of the Escherichia coli Phylogeny Reveals Adjustment to the Urinary Tract Habitat.
TL;DR: 8 positively selected genes within UPEC are found to be required for fitness during persistent bacteriuria, highlighting the complex roles of metabolic pathways during infection and demonstrating that evolutionary approaches can identify infection-specific gene functions downstream of population bottlenecks.

Cristina Colomer-Winter,Ana L. Flores-Mireles,Shannon P. Baker,Kristi L. Frank,Aaron J L Lynch,Scott J. Hultgren,Todd Kitten,José A. Lemos +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Mn acquisition is essential for the pathogenesis of E. faecalis and validates Mn uptake systems as promising targets for the development of new antimicrobials.
Journal ArticleDOI
One size doesn’t fit all: unraveling the diversity of factors and interactions that drive E. coli urovirulence
TL;DR: Critical gaps in understanding of the pathogenic and non-pathogenic colonization of UPEC in different habitats in the host are detailed and a new perspective on UTI susceptibility is described that better reflects the complexity of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient regioselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure 4-hydroxymethyl-Δ2-thiazoline
TL;DR: Optically pure 2-unsubstituted 4-hydroxymethyl-Δ2-thiazoline was prepared by regioselective cyclization of (R)-3-hydroxy-2-aminopropanethiol.
