The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze plasmids and chromosomes in E. coli over two decades, revealing long-term plasmid-lineage associations and success strategies.

This study quantifies strain-level colonisation dynamics of gut pathogens in neonates, finding strong competition and some synergies, and reveals pathogenic potential differences among ExPEC clones.

This study models Klebsiella transmission across human, animal, and environmental sources, finding limited AMR spread outside clinical settings and human-to-human transmission dominance.

This study shows H. pylori has spread repeatedly from Africa by replacing strains with deleterious mutations through migration and selection.

This paper describes two new Klebsiella species, K. spallanzanii and K. pasteurii, based on genomic and biochemical analyses of phylogroups Ko3 and Ko4, with type strains isolated from various sources.
