The paper identifies rare Bacillus cereus group species in unassembled metagenomic samples, revealing their potential geographic distribution and genomic diversity.

The paper identifies novel insecticidal B. cereus group strains from UK insect-dense regions, revealing Cry toxin genes and uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters with potential for biopesticide development.

This study compares single colony and pooled colony isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from cystic fibrosis patients to reveal hidden intraspecific diversity in chronic infections.

This study uses ANI to group S. aureus strains and identifies strain-specific genes in the pangenome by analyzing gene distribution patterns.

A uniformly processed set of 2,440,377 bacterial and archaeal genomes with search tools and annotations, plus an AI-mined peptide set yielding ATB20, active in a mouse skin infection model.

The paper develops BTyperDB, a global atlas of Bacillus cereus sensu lato genomes, to improve pathogen surveillance and identify emerging lineages.

The paper analyzes the agr operon across S. aureus genomes to identify frameshift mutations and their evolutionary patterns, finding over 5% of strains have non-functional agr systems.
