This study shows that loss of GdpP function in Staphylococcus aureus leads to β-lactam antibiotic tolerance and increases mortality in infections, highlighting its clinical relevance in treatment failure.

This study identifies atypical B cell markers associated with influenza vaccine non-responsiveness and severe infection using single-cell transcriptomics.

This study reanalyzes transposon sequencing data from 4 S. pyogenes genotypes across 9 phenotypic conditions to identify highly essential genes and operons, revealing differences in essentiality between in vivo and in vitro environments.

This study identifies genome degradation and convergent mutations in Staphylococcus aureus during severe infections, linking them to adaptation and clinical outcomes.

This paper uses nanopore sequencing and Random Forest models to estimate transmission dynamics of MRSA outbreaks, showing sustained transmission with Re > 1.

This study identifies HLA-DQA1-DQB1 variants as genetic risk factors for rheumatic heart disease in Aboriginal Australians, supporting molecular mimicry as a pathogenic mechanism.
