Abstract The Gram‐positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is a wide spread
opportunistic pathogen that can cause a range of life‐threatening diseases. To obtain a …

Secreted proteins constitute a reservoir of virulence factors. Here, an in silico analysis of the
secretome of 15 S. aureus reference strains is presented revealing that about 30% of the …

Biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus involves the formation of an extracellular matrix,
but the composition of this matrix has been uncertain. Here we report that the matrix is …

Functional genomics of the Gram-positive model organism Bacillus subtilis reveals valuable
insights into basic concepts of cell physiology. In this study, we monitor temporal changes in …

Staphylococcus aureus is a widespread opportunistic pathogen that can cause a wide
variety of life‐threatening diseases. Especially for the colonization of human tissues and the …

New drugs are desperately needed to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) infections. Here, we report screening commercial kinase inhibitors for antibacterial …

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that can cause invasive severe human
illness (listeriosis) in susceptible patients. Most human listeriosis cases appear to be caused …

Recent phosphoproteomics studies have generated relatively large data sets of bacterial
proteins phosphorylated on serine, threonine, and tyrosine, implicating this type of …

Many bacterial moonlighting proteins were originally described in medically, agriculturally,
and commercially important members of the low G+ C Firmicutes. We show Elongation factor …

Proteolytic treatment of intact bacterial cells is an ideal means for identifying surface‐
exposed peptide epitopes and has potential for the discovery of novel vaccine targets. Cell …
