This study uses metagenomics to analyze microbial and resistome sharing between pigs and farmers, finding shared species and resistome signatures but no evidence of strain or mobile genetic element transmission.

The paper tracks eco-evolutionary dynamics in lung pathobiomes of children with cystic fibrosis, finding that P. aeruginosa variants reduce antagonism towards other pathogens, potentially stabilizing communities.

The paper identifies megaplasmids in Enterobacteriaceae species, showing they are self-transmissible, encode drug resistance, and may enhance bacterial competitiveness.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to analyze the population structure and transmission patterns of Mycobacterium bovis in Ethiopia, identifying two distinct introductions of the Eu3 clonal complex from Europe.
