The paper investigates the evolutionary dynamics of colibactin production and resistance in E. coli, showing clonal expansions linked to co-evolution between production and immunity.

This paper develops a genomic autogenous vaccine for poultry to reduce Campylobacter, showing reduced extra-intestinal survival genes and meat surface survival in vaccinated flocks.

The paper introduces LDWeaver, a method to detect co-selection in bacterial genomes by analyzing both short- and long-range linkage disequilibrium, and validates findings using functional annotation and phenotypic measurements.

The paper estimates molecular clock rates in Campylobacter using a birthday problem analogy to quantify lineage turnover and diversification in environmental bacteria.
