This study shows that higher temperatures increase antimicrobial resistance in E. coli by enhancing bacterial growth and susceptibility to kanamycin, leading to stronger selection of resistance.

The paper identifies novel insecticidal B. cereus group strains from UK insect-dense regions, revealing Cry toxin genes and uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters with potential for biopesticide development.

This study examines how microbiome effects on pathogen susceptibility vary across four Drosophilidae species, finding species-specific responses and limited overall microbiome influence on survival.

The paper examines susceptibility to four bacterial pathogens across 36 Drosophilidae species, finding strong phylogenetic signal in susceptibility, particularly for Providencia rettgeri.

This study manipulates multi-level selection in a fungal pathogen to reveal social conflicts and improve biocontrol traits by altering virulence and sporulation timing.
