The Streptococcus pyogenes M protein is involved in phenotypic resistance to phage A25 infection in presence of human serum.

The paper shows that the M protein of S. pyogenes contributes to resistance against phage A25 infection in human serum by binding IgG and albumin, especially in the absence of fatty acids.

Bringing circuit theory into spatial occupancy models to assess landscape connectivity

The paper develops a spatial occupancy model using circuit theory to assess landscape connectivity by incorporating commute distances, applied to study carnivore recolonization in France.
