This study analyzes the evolutionary history and host adaptation of two GBS clonal groups, revealing host switching, regional AMR gene distribution differences, and biased sampling in multi-host pathogens.

This study investigates how heavy metal contamination in sediments selects for plasmids carrying both metal and antibiotic resistance genes, showing co-selection through co-resistance mechanisms.

This study identifies hypervirulent Vibrio harveyi isolates in barramundi, linking plasmid-mediated virulence factors and temperature effects to increased pathogenicity.

This study analyzes the genome of Klebsiella variicola from diverse sources to identify genetic adaptations linked to human infection.

This review identifies vertebrate animals other than humans, ardeid birds, and pigs with evidence of naturally occurring Japanese encephalitis virus infection, highlighting diagnostic limitations and potential roles in epidemiology.

The paper identifies three accessory gene clusters driving host adaptation in Group B Streptococcus across different hosts.

This study analyzes the population genomics of Bacillus anthracis in Tanzania, revealing unexpected within-host diversity and transmission patterns influenced by livestock movements.

This paper investigates the re-emergence of group B Streptococcus in dairy cattle by analyzing genomic data from historical and contemporary isolates, finding evidence of human-to-cattle transmission and strain replacement.
