Abstract
ABSTRACT
McKenzie Lehman works in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and metabolism. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how three papers entitled “Glycolytic dependency of high-level nitric oxide resistance and virulence in
Staphylococcus aureus”
by N. P. Vitko, N. A. Spahich, and A. R. Richardson (mBio 6:e00045-15, 2015,
https://doi.org/10.1128/mbio.00045-15
), “The
Staphylococcus aureus
cystine transporters TcyABC and TcyP facilitate nutrient sulfur acquisition during infection” by J. M. Lensmire, J. P. Dodson, B. Y. Hsueh, M. R. Wischer, et al. (Infect Immun 88:e00690-19, 2020,
https://doi.org/10.1128/iai.00690-19
), and “The second messenger c-di-AMP inhibits the osmolyte uptake system OpuC in
Staphylococcus aureus
” by C. F. Schuster, L. E. Bellows, T. Tosi, I. Campeotto, et al. (Sci Signal 16:ra81, 2016,
https://doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.aaf7279
) impacted her work on bacterial metabolism and pathogenesis.
