Robyn Kent studies how chronic infections can persist in different tissues in the host and how latency is controlled to enable maintenance, transmission, and reactivation of the parasite. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how two papers from the laboratories of Dr. A. P. Sinai and Dr. L. D. Sibley have impacted her thinking on the chronic stage of infections.

is an important human respiratory pathogen that causes mild-to-moderate community-acquired pneumonia (MPP), particularly in children. RNA editing plays a vital role in pathogen infection and host immune response, but it remains largely unknown how it could be involved in the epigenetic regulation of host response to infection. In the present study, we performed an epitranscriptomic analysis of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) editing in 39 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from the severe side (SS) and the opposite side (OS) of patients with MPP.
