Genetic barriers more than ecological adaptations shaped Serratia marcescens diversity

L. Sterzi, R. Nodari, F. Di Marco, M. L. Ferrando, F. Saluzzo, A. Spitaleri, H. Allahverdi, S. Papaleo, S. Panelli, S. G. Rimoldi, G. Batisti Biffignandi, M. Corbella, A. Cavallero, P. Prati, C. Farina, , F. Comandatore

This study shows genetic isolation, particularly through R-M systems, shaped Serratia marcescens diversity more than ecological adaptations.

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.

Streptococcus suis infection on European farms is associated with an altered tonsil microbiome and resistome

S. Fredriksen, C. Neila-Ibanez, I. Hennig-Pauka, X. Guan, J. Dunkelberger, I. Fernandes de Oliveira, M. L. Ferrando, F. Correa-Fiz, V. Aragon, J. Boekhorst, P. van Baarlen, J. M. Wells

The paper investigates the association between Streptococcus suis infection in piglets and changes in their tonsil microbiome and resistome, finding altered microbial composition and increased antimicrobial resistance genes.

Complement active human and porcine serum induces natural competence for genetic transformation in the emerging zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis

M. L. Ferrando, A. Gussak, S. Mentink, P. van Baarlen, J. M. Wells

The paper shows that active human and porcine serum induces natural competence in Streptococcus suis, while pre-heated serum or fetal bovine serum does not.
