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.

A survey of Chinese pig farms and human healthcare isolates reveals separate human and animal MRSA populations

G. Zou, M. MATUSZEWSKA, M. Jia, J. ZHOU, X. Ba, J. DUAN, C. ZHANG, J. ZHAO, M. TAO, J. Fan, X. ZHANG, W. JIN, T. CUI, X. ZENG, M. JIA, , R. Zhou

This study compares MRSA populations from Chinese pig farms and hospitals, finding distinct human and animal lineages with different genetic features and no evidence of spillover from farms to humans.

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.

Genome reduction is associated with bacterial pathogenicity across different scales of temporal and ecological divergence

G. G. R. Murray, J. Charlesworth, E. L. Miller, M. J. Casey, C. T. Lloyd, M. Gottschalk, A. W. Tucker, J. J. Welch, L. A. Weinert

The paper investigates whether genome reduction is linked to bacterial pathogenicity across different scales of divergence and finds it consistently associated with reduced genome size in pathogens.
