The paper develops a sandwich ELISA to quantify NheA and SMase proteins in B. cereus group isolates, showing they distinguish diarrheal food poisoning strains from non-pathogenic ones.

This paper shows that VipR regulates insecticidal gene expression in Bt strains independently of sporulation, leading to early toxin production.

This study shows that host environments shape bacterial population dynamics by promoting coexistence of sporulating and non-sporulating subpopulations and altering their functional traits.
