T6SS-effector hunters uncover PIX: a novel delivery/marker domain
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Apr 27:S0966-842X(24)00094-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.04.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGram-negative bacteria use the T6SS to eject effectors into prey cells, aided by delivery domains. Recently uncovered by Carobbi et al., a new delivery domain, PIX, allowed the identification of hundreds of new effectors. They are order- and function-specific and exclusively orphan effectors, raising novel questions in the field.PMID:38679505 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.04.009 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)

Staphylococcus aureus membrane vesicles: an evolving story
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Apr 26:S0966-842X(24)00088-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.04.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is an important bacterial pathogen that causes a wide variety of human diseases in community and hospital settings. S. aureus employs a diverse array of virulence factors, both surface-associated and secreted, to promote colonization, infection, and immune evasion. Over the past decade, a growing body of research has shown that S. aureus generates extracellular membrane vesicles (MVs) that package a variety of bacterial components, many of which are virulence factors. In this review, we s...

Small peptides: novel targets for modulating plant-rhizosphere microbe interactions
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Apr 25:S0966-842X(24)00085-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.03.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe crucial role of rhizosphere microbes in plant growth and their resilience to environmental stresses underscores the intricate communication between microbes and plants. Plants are equipped with a diverse set of signaling molecules that facilitate communication across different biological kingdoms, although our comprehension of these mechanisms is still evolving. Small peptides produced by plants (SPPs) and microbes (SPMs) play a pivotal role in intracellular signaling and are essential in orchestrating var...

Extracellular vesicles: new bullets in the fungal armory
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Apr 24:S0966-842X(24)00087-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInvasive fungal infections represent millions of deaths per year, but their pathophysiology remains insufficiently understood. Host-fungi interplay has been recently shown to include extracellular vesicles derived from fungi and host infected cells. In this forum article we discuss their emerging role in modulating the host immune response with particular emphasis on their regulatory involvement during Candida albicans infection.PMID:38664155 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.04.002 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)

Critically evaluating the relative importance of phage in shaping microbial community composition
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Mar 20:S0966-842X(24)00057-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.02.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ubiquity of bacteriophages (phages) and the major evolutionary and ecological impacts they can have on their microbial hosts has resulted in phages often cited as key drivers shaping microbial community composition (the relative abundances of species). However, the evidence for the importance of phages is mixed. Here, we critically review the theory and data exploring the role of phages in communities, identifying the conditions when phages are likely to be important drivers of community composition.
