TLDR
FAST-INSeq, a genome-wide screening approach to identify S. Typhi genes required for typhoid toxin expression within infected cells, finds that Typhi toxin expression is controlled by a silencing and counter-silencing mechanism through the opposing actions of the PhoP/PhoQ two-component regulatory system and the histone-like protein H-NS.

The Capsule Regulatory Network of Klebsiella pneumoniae Defined by density-TraDISort.

TL;DR: It is shown that capsule production in K. pneumoniae is at the center of a complex regulatory network involving multiple global regulators and environmental cues and that the majority of capsule regulatory genes are located in the core genome.

Itaconate is an effector of a Rab GTPase cell-autonomous host defense pathway against Salmonella

TL;DR: These studies provide a link between a metabolite produced in the mitochondria after stimulation of innate immune receptors and a cell-autonomous defense mechanism that restricts the replication of an intracellular bacterial pathogen.

Rapid production of full-length cDNAs from rare transcripts: amplification using a single gene-specific oligonucleotide primer

TL;DR: The efficacy of this cDNA cloning strategy was demonstrated by isolating cDNA clones of mRNA from int-2, a mouse gene that expresses four different transcripts at low abundance, the longest of which is approximately 2.9 kilobases.

Construction of versatile low-copy-number vectors for cloning, sequencing and gene expression in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: Using the polymerase chain reaction and standard recombinant DNA techniques, a series of new multipurpose low-copy-number plasmids have been constructed, very useful for analyzing genes encoding proteins which are toxic in Escherichia coli in high copy number.
