Thanks to @mSphereJ for giving me the chance to highlight these landmark studies from the labs of Tom Silhavy, Natacha Ruiz, and @m_strent! Super cool that the commentary came out within days of a new study describing the AsmA-like proteins in Pseudomonas:

Given the importance of the outer membrane (OM) for viability and antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria, in the last decades, several studies have focused on the characterization of the...
#mSphere of Influence: Gregory Harrison reflects on studies that employ complementary genetic approaches to define the crucial role of AsmA-family proteins in transporting phospholipids between the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria.

Can’t believe this is out!! This is the culmination of >6yr of work to define the mode of action of the compound C10 in Mtb. There’s a LOT we still don’t know about this remarkable compound, but proud of the work accomplished with @StallingsLab @FredrikAlmqvis1 @gjpattij labs! 😃.
Using a small molecule to dissect the physiology and antibiotic susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, work from the @StallingsLab reveals new mechanisms to sensitize this dangerous pathogen to existing antibiotics. #mBio
