Neutrophil extracellular traps: from physiology to pathology

Andres Hidalgo et al.

Summary: Neutrophils combat infections and injuries by releasing web-like DNA structures called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which prevent pathogen dissemination or deal with larger microorganisms. However, uncontrolled release of NETs can lead to adverse effects such as vessel occlusion, tissue damage, and prolonged inflammation. This review discusses recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of NET release and functions, as well as the importance of neutrophil heterogeneity in NET formation and composition.

Nutritional immunity: the battle for nutrient metals at the host-pathogen interface

Caitlin C. Murdoch et al.

Summary: Trace metals play essential roles in the interactions between bacterial pathogens and animal hosts. They promote enzyme catalysis and stabilize reaction intermediates, while also preventing bacterial proliferation. The cell-specific and tissue-specific roles of distinct trace metals in shaping bacterial infections have implications for future research and new therapeutic development.

Group B Streptococcus adaptation promotes survival in a hyperinflammatory diabetic wound environment

Rebecca A. Keogh et al.

Summary: In this study, a murine model of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) diabetic wound infection was developed and it was demonstrated through dual RNA sequencing that GBS infection triggers an inflammatory response. GBS adapts to this hyperinflammatory environment by up-regulating virulence factors and mutations in the covR gene were found to affect GBS hemolysin/pigmentation production. This foundational study provides insight into the pathogenesis of GBS diabetic wound infections.

Genomic Analyses Identify Manganese Homeostasis as a Driver of Group B Streptococcal Vaginal Colonization

Lindsey R. Burcham et al.

Summary: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is associated with severe infections in utero and in newborn populations, and our understanding of the factors required for GBS persistence in the female reproductive tract (FRT) remains limited. In this study, we identified several genes necessary for GBS survival and colonization in the FRT using a transposon mutant library. We found that mutations in the mtsA gene, which is involved in manganese transport, were significantly underrepresented in all in vivo samples collected. We also demonstrated that mtsA contributes to GBS survival during metal limitation and oxidative stress. This work reveals the importance of Mn2+ homeostasis in GBS survival in the FRT.

Lipocalin-2: Structure, function, distribution and role in metabolic disorders

Saeeda Al Jaberi et al.

Summary: Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) is a circulating protein responsible for transporting small molecules to target organs, and has been used as a biomarker for renal injury. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and cell protection functions, and is associated with metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The precise role of LCN-2 in metabolic pathways is still unclear.

Transcriptomic analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae periprosthetic joint infection

Hye-Kyung Cho et al.

Summary: This study used RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptome of Streptococcus agalactiae PJI, finding significant gene expression differences between PJI sonicate fluid and in vitro conditions, particularly in genes related to mobilome and metal ion transport. The data presented offer insight into the pathogenesis of S. agalactiae PJI and could potentially lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets for invasive S. agalactiae infections.
