The paper examines how host adaptation influences genome evolution and virulence in Leptospira interrogans, showing distinct genetic and regulatory changes in rodent- and cattle-associated lineages.

This study investigates how a SOD-deficient bacterial pathogen adapts to superoxide stress through metabolic pathways rather than enzymatic defenses.

The paper uses genomic data to show how functional genome architecture correlates with ecological traits in Spirochaetes, revealing ancestral features and evolutionary transitions.

This study uses dual RNA-Seq to identify bacterial effectors that disrupt host cell junctions and enable Leptospira colonization by modulating calcium signaling.

This study identifies genetic and phenotypic traits associated with virulence in Leptospira by comparing environmental and pathogenic strains.
