Complex regulatory networks including ligand-binding transcription factors, two-component systems, RNA-binding proteins, and small non-coding regulatory RNAs adjust gene expression programs in response to changes in metabolic fluxes, environmental cues, and nutrient availability. Recent studies underlined that these different layers of regulation occur along varying spatial and temporal scales, leading to changes in cell behavior and heterogeneity among the bacterial community. This brief review will highlight current research emphasizing that cell metabolism and pathogenesis are inextricably intertwined in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.Background Systemic inflammation is associated with sickness behaviors such as low mood and fatigue. Activity patterns within the insula are suggested to coordinate these behaviors but have not been modeled. We hypothesized that mild systemic inflammation would result in changes in effective connectivity between the viscerosensory and the visceromotor regions of the insula. Methods We used a double-blind, crossover design to randomize 20 male subjects to receive either a Salmonella typhi vaccine or a placebo saline injection at two separate sessions. All participants underwent a resting-state functional magnetic resonance scan 3 hours after injection. We determined behavioral and inflammatory changes, using the Profile of Mood States questionnaire and interleukin-6 levels. We extracted effective connectivity matrices between bilateral mid/posterior (viscerosensory) and anterior (visceromotor) insular cortices using spectral dynamic causal modeling. We applied parametric empirical Bayes and mediation analysis to determine a vaccination effect on effective connectivity and whether this media
