A waaF mutant of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 showed decreased invasion of INT407 cells in vitro and increased sensitivity to some antibiotics compared to what was seen with the wild-type strain.

Antibiotic tolerance enables antibiotic-susceptible bacteria to withstand prolonged exposure to high concentrations of antibiotics. Although antibiotic tolerance presents a major challenge for public health, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Previously, we have demonstrated that develops tolerance to clinically important antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin and tetracycline.

Article Synopsis
- Bacteria use a structure called a flagellar filament, made of many subunits, to swim, but it's unclear how they control its length.
- Deleting certain genes in polar flagellated bacteria resulted in longer flagellar filaments, suggesting that the FlaG protein helps regulate filament length by interfering with another protein, FliS, in the secretion system.
- Both flagellar filaments and injectisome systems appear to have evolved similar protein mechanisms to control the secretion of crucial components, highlighting a convergence in bacterial adaptation strategies.

Infection with is the major cause of human gastroenteritis in the United States and Europe, leading to debilitating autoimmune sequelae in many cases. While considerable progress has been made in detailing the infectious cycle of , a full understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for virulence remains to be elucidated. Here, we apply a novel approach by modulating protein expression on the pathogen's ribosomes by inactivating a highly conserved rRNA methyltransferase.
