The paper investigates genetic diversification in Staphylococcus epidermidis during orthopaedic device-related infections, finding that insertion sequence elements drive adaptation without affecting antimicrobial resistance or biofilm formation.

GeneScanner links laboratory genetic mutations to natural population variation in bacteria, enabling genotype-phenotype association studies across large genome collections.

This study shows that antibiotic resistance and tolerance in Staphylococcus epidermidis are genetically linked but phenotypically distinct, shaped by complex epistatic interactions.

This study investigates how penicillin G forms immunogenic adducts on proteins and elicits specific antibody responses in mice, revealing clonal dominance and limited cross-reactivity with other beta-lactam antibiotics.

The paper develops a computational model to analyze the interplay between two resistance modules in Bacillus subtilis under bacitracin stress, revealing how lipid II cycle changes regulate resistance.
