The paper quantifies domain mosaicism in phage proteins to show how protein modularity contributes to functional diversity and diversification across bacterial hosts.

The paper investigates the diversity and evolution of surface polysaccharide synthesis loci in Enterobacteriales using comparative genomics across 27,334 genomes, revealing dynamics driven by horizontal gene transfer and selective preservation.

This paper shows that Shigella sonnei's O-antigen mediates neutrophil tolerance and increases dysentery incidence in zebrafish, suggesting O-antigen as a therapeutic target.

The study examines antibiotic resistance frequencies in Streptococcus pneumoniae and finds that horizontal gene transfer rates are not the main factor influencing these frequencies.
