This study characterizes seven Campylobacter coli strains from Vietnam, revealing high antimicrobial resistance and virulence, and highlights their global spread.

This study shows that Campylobacter jejuni can survive inside Acanthamoebae castellanii, using similar mechanisms as in warm-blooded hosts, suggesting amoebae as transient hosts for persistence and transmission.

This study shows Campylobacter jejuni modulates ROS production and NADPH oxidase 1 expression in human intestinal epithelial cells, affecting its ability to invade and survive.

This paper develops a novel glycoengineering platform, MAGIC, which increases glycoconjugate yield and enables vaccine development in genetically intractable bacteria.

This study shows that C. jejuni surviving in Acanthamoeba increases its invasiveness into mammalian cells and re-entry into amoebae.

This study compares gene essentiality between Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis using transposon sequencing and CRISPRi, finding species-specific differences in essential genes and their functional roles.

This study examines how industrial chicken production system parameters affect gut microbiome composition and Campylobacter presence, identifying links between environmental factors, microbial dynamics, and performance metrics.

This study compares genetic and phenotypic variation in 23 isolates of the reference Campylobacter jejuni strain NCTC 11168, showing significant genomic and phenotypic differences despite being considered identical.

This study tracks the chicken cecum microbiome from day 3 to 35, identifying a shift in microbial drivers and a window for Campylobacter appearance.
