The paper develops a method to screen plasmid host range using auxotrophic donors, finding that donor identity affects conjugation success in environmental soil bacteria.

This study analyzes antibiotic resistance emergence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa during treatment, finding that pre-existing resistance and ecological dynamics drive resistance development.

The paper demonstrates the use of an engineered environmental plasmid to enable terephthalate degradation in soil by transferring synthetic genes to resident bacteria.

The paper analyzes the genomic diversity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in bronchiectasis, revealing distinct evolutionary patterns compared to cystic fibrosis and highlighting antimicrobial resistance mechanisms.
