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.

The study assesses phenotypic resistance of Campylobacter isolates resistant to azithromycin and ciprofloxacin to additional antibiotics using Kirby-Bauer methods.

This study identifies C. jejuni strains in American black bears, showing genetic diversity and potential host-specific adaptations.

This study compares C. jejuni strains causing watery or bloody diarrhea in piglets, finding that bloody strains exhibit greater virulence traits like cell invasion and barrier disruption.

This study compares growth rates and metabolic traits between Campylobacter jejuni strains associated with watery and bloody/inflammatory diarrhea in a neonatal piglet model.

The paper investigates how urbanization affects the spread of antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter jejuni in wild birds, finding a positive correlation between urban proximity and AMR gene prevalence.

The paper investigates Salmonella prevalence in organic pig farms in northern Thailand, finding high antibiotic resistance and linking contamination to conventional farming practices.

The paper estimates molecular clock rates in Campylobacter using a birthday problem analogy to quantify lineage turnover and diversification in environmental bacteria.

The paper introduces mSWEEP, a method for high-resolution bacterial lineage quantification from plate sweeps, showing improved accuracy in detecting and estimating abundances of bacterial lineages.

Hermes is an ensemble machine learning model for protein secondary structure prediction that outperforms existing methods with higher accuracy and reduced variability.
