The paper examines the mobilome of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis from healthy piglets, identifying mobile genetic elements and their roles in antibiotic resistance and adaptation.

The paper identifies efagins, a new class of antibacterial agents that target enterococcal cell wall carbohydrates, and shows they can be engineered for alternative receptor targeting.

The paper shows that Hla polymorphisms in MRSA strains affect ADAM10-dependent neutrophil IL-1β secretion and corneal disease severity.

The paper introduces fai and zol for large-scale comparative analysis of gene clusters and MGEs, enabling comprehensive orthology inference and evolutionary studies across thousands of genomes.

This paper identifies bibacillin 1, a two-component lantibiotic from Bacillus thuringiensis, showing cooperative bactericidal activity and distinct mechanism of action compared to other lantibiotics.
