A recent study published in by Cao et al. revealed the crucial roles of bacteria in benefitting SARS-CoV-2 mutations (B. Cao, X. Wang, W. Yin, Z. Gao, and B. Xia, mBio e3187-23, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.03187-23). Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for predicting the future trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic and developing preventive and treatment strategies. This study provides important insights into the rapid and complex evolution of viruses facilitated by bacterial-virus interactions.

More than 470 million people globally are infected with the hookworms Ancylostoma ceylanicum and Necator americanus, resulting in an annual loss of 2.1 to 4 million disability-adjusted-life-years. Current infection management approaches are limited by modest drug efficacy, the costs associated with frequent mass drug administration campaigns, and the risk of reinfection and burgeoning drug resistance.

Auxiliary metabolic genes encoded by bacteriophages can influence host metabolic function during infection. In temperate phages, auxiliary metabolic genes may increase host fitness when integrated as prophages into the host genome. However, little is known about the contribution of prophage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes to host metabolic properties.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), often caused by biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, present significant clinical challenges. Skt35, a dioxopiperidinamide derivative of cinnamic acid, was investigated for its potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against S. aureus biofilms.
