PMID: 27043636
Pathogens. 2016 Mar 29;5(2). doi: 10.3390/pathogens5020034.

Autophagy plays an important role in maintaining cell homeostasis by providing nutrients during periods of starvation and removing damaged organelles from the cytoplasm. A marker in the autophagic process is the reversible conjugation of LC3, a membrane scaffolding protein,...

Microwave-Generated Steam Decontamination of N95 Respirators Utilizing Universally Accessible Materials.

medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences

Zulauf KE, Green AB, Nguyen AN, Jagdish T, Reif D, Seeley R, Dale A, Kirby JE.
PMID: 32511577
medRxiv. 2020 Apr 25; doi: 10.1101/2020.04.22.20076117.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused a severe, international shortage of N95 respirators, which are essential to protect healthcare providers from infection. Given the contemporary limitations of the supply chain, it is imperative to identify effective means of decontaminating, reusing,...

Shigella flexneri Disruption of Cellular Tension Promotes Intercellular Spread.

Cell reports

Duncan-Lowey JK, Wiscovitch AL, Wood TE, Goldberg MB, Russo BC.
PMID: 33238111
Cell Rep. 2020 Nov 24;33(8):108409. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2020.108409.

During infection, some bacterial pathogens invade the eukaryotic cytosol and spread between cells of an epithelial monolayer. Intercellular spread occurs when these pathogens push against the plasma membrane, forming protrusions that are engulfed by adjacent cells. Here, we show...

Metagenomic Sequencing of an Echovirus 30 Genome From Cerebrospinal Fluid of a Patient With Aseptic Meningitis and Orchitis.

Open forum infectious diseases

Piantadosi A, Mukerji SS, Chitneni P, Cho TA, Cosimi LA, Hung DT, Goldberg MB, Sabeti PC, Kuritzkes DR, Grad YH.

Open Forum Infect Dis. 2017 Jul 28;4(3):ofx138. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofx138. eCollection 2017.

Enteroviruses cause a wide spectrum of clinical disease. In this study, we describe the case of a young man with orchitis and aseptic meningitis who was diagnosed with enterovirus infection. Using unbiased "metagenomic" massively parallel sequencing, we assembled a...

Caging targets for destruction.

Cell host & microbe

Stamm LM, Heller DM, Goldberg MB.
PMID: 21075349
Cell Host Microbe. 2010 Nov 18;8(5):391-3. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2010.10.010.

Intracellular bacterial pathogens engage in a tug-of-war with innate host defenses. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Mostowy et al. (2010) identify a role for the septin family of cytoskeletal proteins in targeting intracellular Shigella to the...

Background.  Five neuroinvasive Bacillus cereus infections (4 fatal) occurred in hospitalized patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) during a 9-month period, prompting an investigation by infection control and public health officials. Methods.  Medical records of case-patients were reviewed and...

A FACS-Based Genome-wide CRISPR Screen Reveals a Requirement for COPI in Chlamydia trachomatis Invasion.

iScience

Park JS, Helble JD, Lazarus JE, Yang G, Blondel CJ, Doench JG, Starnbach MN, Waldor MK.
PMID: 30590252
iScience. 2019 Jan 25;11:71-84. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2018.12.011. Epub 2018 Dec 14.

The invasion of Chlamydia trachomatis, an obligate intracellular bacterium, into epithelial cells is driven by a complex interplay of host and bacterial factors. To comprehensively define the host genes required for pathogen invasion, we undertook a fluorescence-activated cell sorting...

Nasal-Swab Testing Misses Patients with Low SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads.

medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences

Callahan C, Lee R, Lee G, Zulauf KE, Kirby JE, Arnaout R.
PMID: 32587981
medRxiv. 2020 Jun 14; doi: 10.1101/2020.06.12.20128736.

The urgent need for large-scale diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 has prompted pursuit of sample-collection methods of sufficient sensitivity to replace sampling of the nasopharynx (NP). Among these alternatives is collection of nasal-swab samples, which can be performed by the...

Distinguishing gene flow between malaria parasite populations.

PLoS genetics

Brown TS, Arogbokun O, Buckee CO, Chang HH.
