This study identifies the Y. pseudotuberculosis T4BSS as a virulence factor contributing to FESLF pathogenicity through immune modulation during oral infection.

The paper shows that plasmids with antibiotic resistance genes are highly mobile, have broad host ranges, and evolve faster than other plasmids, facilitating the spread of antibiotic resistance across bacterial species.

MacSyFinder v2 improves molecular system detection in microbial genomes with enhanced modeling, search engine, and updated models.

The paper identifies conjugative origins of transfer in plasmids and chromosomes, revealing functional dependencies that explain plasmid mobility and antimicrobial resistance gene distribution.
