The paper compares genomic differences between DNase-producing and non-producing Streptococcus agalactiae strains to identify genetic factors associated with DNase activity and virulence.

The paper performs RNA-sequencing to analyze global gene expression of S. agalactiae NEM316 during exponential growth, identifying translation-related genes and highlighting gaps in understanding DNase release mechanisms.

This study analyzes the genetic diversity of Ae. albopictus in Portugal, identifying multiple introduction events and potential within-country dispersal.

This study performs a comprehensive genome analysis of Arcobacter butzleri, revealing its core- and pan-genome diversity, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

The paper reports an outbreak of Chlamydia trachomatis caused by a hybrid L2b/D-Da strain with a unique genome that combines virulence features of LGV and non-LGV strains.

INSaFLU automates whole-genome sequencing analysis for influenza surveillance, generating key genetic outputs and enabling mixed infection detection.
