Insertion sequence elements associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis evolution in persistent orthopaedic device-related infections

James C. Littlefair, Carolin Martina Kobras, Virginia Post…·Samuel Keir Sheppard

The paper investigates genetic diversification in Staphylococcus epidermidis during orthopaedic device-related infections, finding that insertion sequence elements drive adaptation without affecting antimicrobial resistance or biofilm formation.

Genetic context drives evolution of divergent antibiotic survival phenotypes in Staphylococcus epidermidis

Carolin Martina Kobras, Carlota Losa Mediavilla, James C. Littlefair…·Mathew Stracy

This study shows that antibiotic resistance and tolerance in Staphylococcus epidermidis are genetically linked but phenotypically distinct, shaped by complex epistatic interactions.

From modules to networks: A systems-level analysis of the bacitracin stress response in Bacillus subtilis

Hannah Piepenbreier, Andre Sim, Carolin Martina Kobras…·Georg Fritz

The paper develops a computational model to analyze the interplay between two resistance modules in Bacillus subtilis under bacitracin stress, revealing how lipid II cycle changes regulate resistance.
