The emergence and diversification of a zoonotic pathogen from within the microbiota of intensively farmed pigs

G. G. R. Murray, A. S. M. M. Hossain, E. L. Miller, S. Bruchmann, A. J. Balmer, M. Matuszewska, J. Herbert, N. F. Hadjirin, R. Mugabi, G. Li, M. L. Ferrando, I. M. Fernades de Oliveira, T. Nguyen, P. L. K. Yen, H. D. Phuc, , L. A. Weinert

This study traces the emergence and spread of Streptococcus suis pathogens in pigs, linking their evolution to changes in farming practices and identifying genomic factors associated with pathogenicity.

Mutation rate dynamics reflect ecological change in an emerging zoonotic pathogen

G. Murray, A. J. Balmer, J. Herbert, N. F. Hadijirn, C. L. Kemp, M. Matuszewska, S. Bruchmann, A. S. M. M. Hossain, M. Gottschalk, A. W. Tucker, E. Miller, L. A. Weinert

The paper investigates how mutation rates in Streptococcus suis change with ecology and genome size, finding higher mutation rates in invasive disease isolates and a bias towards G/C to A/T mutations in more pathogenic strains.
