The study shows that prior Mtb infection protects against reinfection with a genetically distinct strain in macaques, suggesting broad vaccine efficacy across Mtb lineages.

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.

This paper introduces a method to rapidly infer antibiotic resistance and susceptibility from bacterial genomes using genomic neighbor typing, achieving high sensitivity and specificity within minutes to hours.
