This study identifies aerocavin as a potent and specific antibiotic against Neisseria, showing it inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase and has low resistance evolution rates in N. gonorrhoeae.

The paper identifies and validates a consensus substrate recognition motif for Shigella OspB, revealing key amino acid positions critical for its protease activity.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze opa gene diversity in Neisseria gonorrhoeae genomes, revealing high variability and rapid evolution of these genes.

This study shows that the ponAL421P mutation in PBP1 increases penicillin MIC above the clinical breakpoint and persists in N. gonorrhoeae despite penicillin's removal from treatment guidelines.

This study quantifies how antibiotic use and genetic resistance determinants affect bacterial lineage dynamics using a Bayesian model and Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates.

This paper introduces a community-driven genomic resource for Neisseria gonorrhoeae that predicts antimicrobial resistance and supports public health surveillance.

The paper evaluates targeted sampling strategies for detecting novel antibiotic resistance variants in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, finding that pathogen-based approaches are more efficient than patient-based ones.
