Acquisition of a large virulence plasmid (pINV) promoted temperature-dependent virulence and global dispersal of O96:H19 enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

The paper shows that acquisition of the pINV plasmid in ST99 E. coli made its virulence temperature-dependent, aiding global dispersal.

Five years of GenoTyphi: updates to the global Salmonella Typhi genotyping framework

The paper updates the GenoTyphi framework using 4,632 whole genome sequences, revealing the widespread H58 genotypes and diverse AMR-carrying genotypes in Salmonella Typhi.

Multiple introductions of multidrug-resistant typhoid associated with acute infection and asymptomatic carriage, Kenya

The study investigates typhoid dynamics in Kenya, finding high multidrug-resistant H58 S. Typhi prevalence in both cases and controls, suggesting carriers contribute to community spread.

A novel therapeutic antibody screening method using bacterial high-content imaging reveals functional antibody binding phenotypes of Escherichia coli ST131

This study uses high-content imaging to screen a monoclonal antibody against E. coli ST131 isolates, identifying four binding phenotypes and linking them to genetic variations affecting O-antigen structure.

Informal genomic surveillance of regional distribution of Salmonella Typhi genotypes and antimicrobial resistance via returning travellers

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Salmonella Typhi isolates from travelers to analyze genotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns across regions.
