Phage-mediated virulence loss and antimicrobial susceptibility in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae by Yanshuang Yu, Mengzhu Wang, Liuying Ju, Minchun Li, Mengshi Zhao, Hui Deng, Christopher Rensing, Qiu E. Yang, Shungui Zhou

“…Evolved bacterial clones not only exhibited increased sensitivity to clinically important antibiotics but also displayed a loss of virulence in an in-vivo model. In contrast, phages evolved under the selection pressure against Kp2092 mutants and exhibited enhanced bacterial killing potency, targeting mutations in phage tail proteins gp12 and gp17. …”

Role of SarA in Staphylococcus aureus: A Virulence Target For Therapeutic Strategies by Yi He Kuai, Jodi Woan-Fei Law, Yong Sze Ong, Vengadesh Letchumanan, Learn-Han Lee, Loh Teng-Hern Tan

“… Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection gives rise to significant morbidity and carries a grave prognosis, resulting in the demise of approximately 21.8% of afflicted individuals on a yearly basis Staphylococcus aureus has the capability to induce a myriad of diverse diseases, a phenomenon attributed to its extensive array of virulence factors and formation of biofilms. The regulation of key virulence determinants, crucial for pathogenicity, is intricately controlled by the staphylococcal accessory regulatory (sarA) system. …”
