Spatial lung niches shape Pseudomonas aeruginosa persistence

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to map Pseudomonas aeruginosa niches in lung tissue from CF and COPD patients, revealing distinct bacterial states and host interactions linked to infection persistence.

Pf-PeptideFilter: An Interactive Catalogue of Peptide Vaccine Candidates for Plasmodium falciparum

Pf-PeptideFilter is a web-based tool that filters peptide vaccine candidates for Plasmodium falciparum using genomic and transcriptomic data to prioritize immunogenic targets.

Mapping the Phenotypic Landscape of Beta-lactam Resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

The paper develops a framework to analyze multivariate beta-lactam resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae using MIC data from 3,628 isolates, revealing genetic mutations and lineage-specific resistance profiles.

Emergence of zoonotic and multi-drug resistant Streptococcus suis

This study identifies the emergence and evolution of two zoonotic Streptococcus suis lineages in Thailand, showing they acquired multi-drug resistance and serotype 2 capsule through horizontal gene transfer.

Understanding the Global Spread of Artemisinin Resistance: Insights from over 100K Plasmodium falciparum Samples

This paper aggregates spatiotemporal data on 112,933 Plasmodium falciparum samples to track the global spread of artemisinin resistance, highlighting its emergence in East Africa and the role of genomic surveillance.
