Long-term evolution of Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus pneumoniae leads to higher genetic diversity within rather than between human populations

This study compares genetic diversity within and between populations of Streptococcus mitis and S. pneumoniae, finding higher within-population diversity in S. mitis due to larger effective population size.

Genomic diversity of Escherichia coli isolates from healthy children in rural Gambia

This study sequenced E. coli isolates from healthy children in rural Gambia, finding most diversity comes from immigration rather than within-host evolution.

Comparative Genomics Shows Differences in the Electron Transport and Carbon Metabolic Pathways of Mycobacterium africanum relative to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and suggests an adaptation to low oxygen tension

The paper compares the genomes of Mycobacterium africanum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis to identify mutations in electron transport and carbon metabolic pathways, suggesting adaptations to low oxygen environments.

Within-Host Diversity and Vertical Transmission of Group B Streptococcus Among Mother-infant Dyads in The Gambia

The paper investigates GBS transmission from mothers to infants, finding vertical transmission and within-host diversity in one dyad.

A novel mosaic tetracycline resistance gene tet(S/M) detected in a multidrug-resistant pneumococcal CC230 lineage that underwent capsular switching in South Africa

The paper identifies a novel tetracycline resistance gene tet(S/M) in a multidrug-resistant pneumococcal lineage in South Africa and links its spread to HIV treatment and vaccine implementation.

Global emergence and population dynamics of divergent serotype 3 CC180 pneumococci

This study analyzes global serotype 3 pneumococcal isolates to show a recent emergence of Clade II with antibiotic resistance and antigenic diversity, not linked to PCV13 usage.
