Genomic dissection of endemic carbapenem resistance: metallo-beta-lactamase gene dissemination through clonal, plasmid and integron transfer pathways

The paper tracks the evolution and spread of the blaIMP-4 gene across multiple bacterial strains and plasmids in a hospital setting over two decades.

Transmission of Klebsiella strains and plasmids within and between Grey-headed flying fox colonies

This study identifies transmission clusters and plasmid exchange among Klebsiella strains in Grey-headed flying foxes, showing gene flow between bat and human-associated isolates.

A curated collection of Klebsiella metabolic models reveals variable substrate usage and gene essentiality

The paper curates 37 strain-specific genome-scale metabolic models for Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex isolates, revealing strain-specific metabolic differences and gene essentiality.

Are specialised ABC transporters responsible for the circularisation of type I circular bacteriocins?

The paper investigates whether specialised ABC transporters are responsible for the circularisation of type I circular bacteriocins but has been withdrawn due to pending verification.

Crystal structure and site-directed mutagenesis of circular bacteriocin plantacyclin B21AG reveals cationic and aromatic residues important for antimicrobial activity

The paper determines the crystal structure of plantacyclin B21AG and identifies key cationic and aromatic residues critical for its antimicrobial activity through site-directed mutagenesis.

Discovery and characterisation of novel circular bacteriocin plantacyclin B21AG from Lactobacillus plantarum B21

This study identifies and characterizes plantacyclin B21AG, a novel circular bacteriocin from Lactobacillus plantarum B21, highlighting its antimicrobial properties and biosynthetic machinery.
