New publication: RNA atlas of human bacterial pathogens uncovers stress dynamics linked to infection

In a collaboration with the Universities of Umeå and Helsinki, and Karolinska Institute, Matteo and Karsten investigated stress responses in many human bacterial pathogens. The work has now been published in Nature Communications.

RNA atlas of human bacterial pathogens uncovers stress dynamics linked to infection Bacterial stress responses are potential targets for new antimicrobials. Here, Avican et al. present global transcriptomes for 32 bacterial pathogens grown under 11 stress conditions, and identify common and unique regulatory responses, as well as processes participating in different stress response...
