Modelling biological and resource fluxes in fluvial meta-ecosystems

The paper introduces a model and R-package to simulate resource and organism flows in river networks, showing how they interact to influence ecosystem functioning.

Bdellovibrio's Prey-Independent Growth is Fuelled by Amino Acids as a Carbon Source

This study shows Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus can grow without prey using amino acids as carbon sources, revealing their metabolic flexibility and potential for biotechnological applications.

The Impact of Colistin Resistance on the Activation of Innate Immunity by Lipopolysaccharide Modification

This study evaluates how colistin resistance in bacteria affects innate immune responses, finding that LPS modifications like Ara4N enhance bacterial survival and trigger stronger inflammation.

Statistical evaluation of metaproteomics and 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing techniques for the study of the gut microbiota establishment of infants with cystic fibrosis

This study compares 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metaproteomics for analyzing gut microbiota in infants with cystic fibrosis, finding similar taxonomic assignments but discrepancies in abundance detection.

Automatic discrimination of species within the Enterobacter cloacae complex using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry and supervised algorithms

This paper develops machine learning models using MALDI-TOF MS data to accurately differentiate species within the Enterobacter cloacae complex.

Automatic antibiotic resistance prediction in Klebsiella pneumoniae based on MALDI-TOF mass spectra

This paper introduces a Bayesian model to predict antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae using MALDI-TOF mass spectra, outperforming existing methods by avoiding preprocessing and hyperparameter tuning.

Predation Efficiency upon Clinical Isolates: Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is Prey Specific and Origin Dependent

This study evaluates the predation efficiency of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, finding that origin, not genetic background or antibiotic resistance, determines prey susceptibility.

Global genomic population structure of Clostridioides difficile

This study introduces EnteroBase, a database for C. difficile genomic data, showing it can identify related genomes with 89% consistency between cgMLST and SNPs.
