A 21-case nightclub-linked meningococcal outbreak variant differed from its closest relatives by horizontal gene transfer from carriage-associated Neisseria, affecting iron acquisition and type IV pili genes.

This paper introduces a WGS-based LIN code system for Neisseria meningitidis to enable high-resolution multi-level typing and improve molecular epidemiology.

The paper develops a multi-resolution lineage nomenclature for Neisseria gonorrhoeae using LIN codes to improve lineage identification and reflect population structure and antibiotic resistance associations.

This paper develops and validates a core genome MLST (cgMLST) scheme for Haemophilus influenzae using pangenome analysis and validates it with genomic datasets, showing high congruence with phylogenetic analysis.

The paper tracks the global spread of quinolone-resistant Neisseria meningitidis clone ChinaCC4821-R1-C/B, showing its expansion from China to other countries and potential for a global pandemic.

This study performs a pan-GWAS of Streptococcus agalactiae strains to identify lineage-specific genes linked to virulence and niche adaptation across different host environments.
