Thrilled to share that our study on how the pcnB gene sustains Shigella virulence is now published in PLOS Pathogens: journals.plos.org/plospathogen...

In short: pcnB ➝increased virulence-plasmid replication ➝ elevated T3SS expression ➝ enhanced invasion/spread within the intestinal epithelium.
The pcnB gene sustains Shigella flexneri virulence
Author summary Bacterial infections represent a major global threat. Understanding the genetic determinants promoting infections is crucial to overcome this threat. Shigella is an intracellular bacter...

Mast cell subsets respond uniquely to Salmonella infection. Read all about it in our latest paper in EJI. Another chapter in our deciphering of mast cell interactions with enterobacteria, driven by Chris von Beek.

Mast Cell Phenotypic Heterogeneity Impacts the Interplay with Pathogenic Salmonella Typhimurium Bacteria
Mast cell phenotypic features influence anti-bacterial response. Connective tissue-like mast cells sense Salmonella through combined Toll-like-receptor (TLR) signaling and recognition of Type-III-sec....

Our latest work combines human gut epithelial #organoid culture with experimental #Shigella #infections, transposon mutagenesis, and statistical modeling. This has led to the mapping of the comprehensive geneset that drives Shigella epithelial colonization.
