Design of a Host-directed Adjuvant to Sensitize Intracellular Bacterial Persisters to Antibiotics

Intracellular Bacterial Persister Cells Contribute to Antibiotic Failure

Antibiotic Resistance Mycobacterium tuberculosis Salmonella Typhimurium

03 Nov 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

Lu et al., (2025) describes the discovery and characterization of a non-toxic small-molecule adjuvant, K1, which modulates the host cell in such a way as to resuscitate metabolically dormant intracellular bacteria making them become sensitive to antibiotics.

Comparison of cgMLST Pipelines for Hospital Outbreak Detections

Comparison of cgMLST Pipelines for Hospital Outbreaks

Whole Genome Sequencing

03 Nov 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

Three commercial cgMLST pipelines were compared, using 255 hospital outbreak isolates, evaluating their concordance in identifying outbreak-related clusters and whether they consistently distinguish “clustered” vs “non-clustered” isolate pairs.

Phage Cocktail Tailored to Treat Hospital Acquired Enterobacter cloacae Complex Infections

Multi-phage Formulations Attack Enterobacter cloacae complex

Coliphages Enterobacter Cloacae Complex (ECC)ESKAPE Pathogens

03 Nov 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

Study demonstrates that an institution-specific phage cocktail, built using local strain surveillance, can reduce time-to-effective therapy, curb transmission of resistant clones, and limit off-target ecological effects compared with broad, non-targeted antimicrobial agents.

Campylobacter in the Domestic Kitchen: Breaking Bad Habits

How Domestic Kitchen Behaviour Can Influence Campylobacter Spread

Campylobacter Journal Club

08 Oct 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in Europe. Improper handling of raw chicken - boosts Campylobacter cross-contamination risk in the kitchen; replacing cutting boards or knives was found to reduced pathogen transfer by 57–75%.

Seeds and Blossoms as Gateways: Internalization of Enteric Pathogens into Fresh Produce

Enteric Pathogens in Fresh Produce

E. coli E. coli inc VTEC/STEC Enterobacteriaceae

08 Oct 2025 Lora Benoit Ph.D

E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium were inoculated onto lettuce and cucumber plants. The pathogens were frequently detected internally, indicating that these routes may allow entry into edible tissues and persist through harvest.
