Establishment of a publicly available core genome multilocus sequence typing scheme for Clostridium perfringens

This paper establishes a core genome MLST scheme for C. perfringens and applies it to poultry and non-poultry strains to identify clustering patterns and associations with netB gene carriage and clinical disease.

Phagocytic predation by the fungivorous amoeba Protostelium aurantium targets metal ion and redox homeostasis

This study shows that the amoeba Protostelium aurantium targets fungal copper and redox homeostasis during predation, with gene deletions in C. parapsilosis confirming their role in survival against phagocytic killing.
