The paper identifies Evangelion, a new family of anti-phage defence systems encoded in antimicrobial-resistance plasmids, through phenotype-guided analysis of a Staphylococcus aureus plasmid.

This study examines genotype dependence of virulence-associated genes in ESBL-producing E. coli from UTI patients, finding ST131 strains show distinct virulence gene repertoires and lower sepsis rates.

This study identifies phage genes that inactivate bacterial immune systems by testing gene deletions in a phage library against bacterial defense systems.
