The paper screens 32 New Zealand fungi for antibacterial activity against E. coli using OSMAC, finding several active isolates and highlighting media effects on bioactivity.

This study tests the 30-day durability claim of a spray-on biocide in a real-world lab setting and finds it ineffective at preventing microbial contamination under routine cleaning conditions.

The paper develops a model to infer bacterial transmission using deep sequencing data from a mouse model, showing that within-host variant abundance differences can accurately identify transmission pairs.
