This study defines the pan-genome of Candidozyma auris and identifies essential genes, revealing organism-specific biology and potential antifungal targets.

This paper develops wzi-Seq, a method to detect and quantify Klebsiella strains in gut samples, and finds that mono-colonization is associated with increased infection risk.

This paper improves ancestral state reconstruction by introducing joint reconstructions and uncertainty quantification, showing higher accuracy and biological insights in antibiotic resistance evolution.

This study tracks blaKPC plasmid dissemination across Enterobacterales in Michigan over a decade, revealing clonal spread and plasmid transfer as key drivers of antimicrobial resistance.

This paper introduces a PCR-based method to measure bacterial growth rates during infection, showing it correlates with WGS-based methods and reveals UPEC growth dynamics in a mouse UTI model.

This paper introduces prewas, an R package that standardizes variant pre-processing for bacterial GWAS to improve reproducibility and interpretability of results.
