This study identifies how the intestinal microbiota drives the evolution of pathoadaptive traits in ESBL E. coli through adhesion and biofilm formation.

This study shows that phenotypic heterogeneity in bacteria affects phage-bacteria coevolution, leading to phage extinction due to genetic resistance evolution in the intestinal tract.

The paper introduces a biochemical method to detect and analyze capsular polysaccharides in bacteria, improving upon traditional serotyping assays.

The paper characterizes the BREX system in Salmonella, determines the structure of PglX, and shows how rational engineering expands phage targeting and host motif methylation.

The paper identifies a new sublineage of Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 in Malawi with a gene expression signature and increased fitness compared to its parent lineage.

The paper identifies a non-coding SNP in the pgtE promoter of Salmonella ST313 that increases PgtE expression, contributing to serum resistance and virulence in a chicken model.
