The paper develops a cgMLST scheme and LIN code system to classify Moraxella catarrhalis lineages, revealing two divergent seroresistant and serosensitive lineages with distinct genetic and virulence characteristics.

The paper develops a cgMLST scheme and LIN code system for S. aureus to enable high-resolution genotyping and classification of genetic lineages.

The paper develops a genomic resource and clustering methods for pneumococcal population analysis using a large curated dataset of genomes.

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 examines changes in bacteriocin prevalence and diversity in pneumococci from Iceland and Kenya before and after vaccine introduction, showing vaccine-induced shifts in bacterial population structure.

The paper identifies widespread prophages and satellite prophages in Streptococcus species, showing their association with pneumococcal virulence in a mouse model.

The paper identifies 14 new bacteriocin gene clusters in Streptococcus pneumoniae genomes and shows their diversity and activity under stress and competition.

The paper analyzes genome sequences of pneumococci from different populations to assess core and pan-genome variability, finding significant differences between Maela isolates and others.
