This study uses a seven-locus microsatellite panel to type feces-derived Candida albicans strains from IBD patients and healthy volunteers, finding genotype distributions and phenotypic correlations with disease.

The paper reports the discovery of a new bacterial species, Candidatus Ornithobacterium hominis, identified from nasopharyngeal swabs and describes its genomic features and colonization patterns.

The paper compares E. coli isolates from humans and livestock to assess transmission and resistance gene sharing, finding genetic distinctions and limited shared antimicrobial resistance genes.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to analyze invasive GBS isolates in the Netherlands and identifies the expansion of a CC17 sub-lineage, CC17-1A, as correlated with increased disease incidence.
