The paper analyzes PBP2x sequence diversity in S. pyogenes isolates from England and Wales, finding mutations associated with reduced beta-lactam susceptibility and macrolide resistance.

This study identifies and characterizes cinquedea, a bactericidal phospholipase from the archaeon Haloferax larsenii that kills halophilic bacteria by damaging their cell membranes.

This study identifies antagonistic interactions between archaea and bacteria by analyzing genome sequences and demonstrating the antibacterial activity of archaeal peptidoglycan hydrolases.

The paper uses deep mutational scanning to analyze the fitness landscape of an RNA structure, showing how mutational effects depend on multiple conformational states.
