The paper shows extensive genomic overlap between Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, including shared genes and recombination events, with implications for vaccine development.

The paper identifies distinct FAP subpopulations in human musculoskeletal injuries that drive adipogenesis and fibrosis, showing that DLK1 downregulation promotes degeneration.

This study shows that treatment history influences the evolution of carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella by shaping the genetic loci involved and their fitness costs.

This study shows that glutathione buffers excess intracellular copper in Streptococcus pyogenes when the Cu export system is overwhelmed, allowing bacterial survival despite copper toxicity.

This study identifies prophage-encoded exotoxins in Streptococcus pyogenes that enhance colonization fitness and pathogenesis in scarlet fever.

The paper investigates PBP sequence variation in S. pyogenes and finds that mutations in PBPs are rare, with few amino acid differences across most isolates, contrasting with more frequent mutations in S. pneumococcus.
