Insertion sequence elements associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis evolution in persistent orthopaedic device-related infections

The paper investigates genetic diversification in Staphylococcus epidermidis during orthopaedic device-related infections, finding that insertion sequence elements drive adaptation without affecting antimicrobial resistance or biofilm formation.

Genetic context drives evolution of divergent antibiotic survival phenotypes in Staphylococcus epidermidis

This study shows that antibiotic resistance and tolerance in Staphylococcus epidermidis are genetically linked but phenotypically distinct, shaped by complex epistatic interactions.

Single-molecule tracking reveals the functional allocation, in vivo interactions, and spatial organization of universal transcription factor NusG

This study uses single-molecule tracking to reveal NusG's functional allocation, interactions, and spatial organization in E. coli, showing its roles in transcription elongation, anti-termination, and coupling with translation.
