A murine model of adult gastrointestinal colonization by Group B Streptococcus
Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae, GBS) is a leading cause of invasive infections in neonates and adults. The adult gastrointestinal (GI) tract represents an understudied site of asympto...

Antimicrobial peptide class that forms discrete β-barrel stable pores anchored by transmembrane helices
Nature Communications - Bacteriocins include antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that often disrupt the cytoplasmic membrane. Here, the authors describe TMcin (transmembrane helix-containing...
