Listeria monocytogenes - from saprophyte to intracellular pathogen
Nancy E. Freitag, Gary C. Port and Maurine D. Miner
p623 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2171
Bacteria need to adjust as they move between different environments.
In this Progress article, Freitag, Port and Miner describe how Listeria
monocytogenes regulates the transition from saprophyte to human pathogen.

Waves of resistance: Staphylococcus aureus in the antibiotic era
Henry F. Chambers and Frank R. DeLeo
p629 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2200
Epidemics caused by antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus
aureus often occur in waves. Here, Henry Chambers and Frank DeLeo review
the molecular epidemiology of the epidemic waves of penicillin- and
methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus that have occurred since 1940,
with a focus on community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=95&m=33877705&r=MTc2NzM1ODUwNgS2&b=2&j=NTY2OTYzNzQS1&mt=1&rt=0

Bacterial cell division: assembly, maintenance and disassembly of the Z ring
David W. Adams and Jeff Errington
p642 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2198
Bacterial cell division is orchestrated by the assembly of FtsZ into
the Z ring, which functions as a scaffold for the assembly of the division
machinery. Here, David Adams and Jeff Errington review the diverse repertoire
of accessory proteins that interact with FtsZ during its assembly to render
it both functional for division and responsive to cellular stresses.

The type III secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: infection by
injection
Alan R. Hauser
p654 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2199
Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a type III secretion system to proliferate
within the host. Here, Alan Hauser describes the regulation of the formation
of this secretion system, the components that allow the transfer of effectors
into the host and the activity of these effectors.

Cryo-electron tomography of bacteria: progress, challenges and future
prospects
Jacqueline L.S. Milne and Sriram Subramaniam
p666 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2183
Cryo-electron tomography is beginning to open a window on the bacterial
cell, enabling internal structural organization to be imaged at high
resolutions. In this Review article, Milne and Subramaniam assess the
applicability and limitations of cryo-electron tomography for bacterial
cell imaging and highlight the recent advances made in this exciting field.

Transport of lipopolysaccharide across the cell envelope: the long road
of discovery
Natividad Ruiz, Daniel Kahne and Thomas J. Silhavy
p677 | doi:10.1038/nrmicro2184
In this Timeline, Silhavy and colleagues trace the experiments that
revealed the structure and composition of the membranes and cell wall
of Gram-negative bacteria and describe our current knowledge of the
synthesis and transport pathways of lipopolysaccharide.
