Life Identification Numbers: A bacterial strain nomenclature approach

The paper proposes the Life Identification Number (LIN) system as a stable, multilevel strain taxonomy for bacterial pathogens based on core genome MLST to improve epidemiological tracking and nomenclature consistency.

Modified Elek test improves in-vitro detection of diphtheria toxin

The study modifies the Elek test to improve detection of diphtheria toxin in Corynebacterium species, identifying more toxigenic isolates previously classified as non-toxigenic.

Pangenome structure and ecological adaptation in the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex: insights from a geographically and time limited multi-habitat study

This study analyzes the pangenome structure and ecological adaptation of Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex across different habitats, revealing phylogroup- and niche-specific genomic features.

Accurate genotyping of three major respiratory bacterial pathogens with ONT R10.4.1 long-read sequencing

This study evaluates ONT R10.4.1 long-read sequencing for accurate genotyping of three respiratory pathogens, showing error rates below 1% for cgMLST.

Genomic Epidemiology and Microevolution of the Zoonotic Pathogen Corynebacterium ulcerans

This study develops a cgMLST scheme for high-resolution genotyping of C. ulcerans and identifies genetic clusters linked to transmission and geographical spread.

A validated pangenome-scale metabolic model for the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex

This paper constructs a comprehensive pangenome-scale metabolic model for the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex, showing improved accuracy in growth predictions compared to previous models.
