Extracellular vesicles (EVs) enhance fungal pathogenicity in vivo, with EV-associated aspartyl proteases and other virulence components directly contributing to accelerated host mortality when EVs are present alongside fungal cells. #mSphere: asm.social/39S

Extracellular vesicles of C. albicans. Vesicles isolated from strain ATCC 90028 (yeast cells) were negatively contrasted with uranyl acetate and then visualized by TEM (inset).

This #mBio study identified the sRNA SrsA as a non-coding regulator involved in the sigma B-mediated stress response to nutrient limitation and radical stress in the intestinal pathogen Clostridioides difficile. Get the full story: asm.social/39P

SrsA has a large, Hfq-dependent interactome, with a small overlap to the σB regulon.
