Combination of large-scale phylogenomic analysis, mouse lethality experiments and bacterial growth assays shows sheds light on how a pandemic clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was able to spread worldwide

Wave succession in the pandemic clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus driven by gene loss - Nature Ecology & Evolution
A combination of large-scale phylogenomic analysis, mouse lethality experiments and bacterial growth assays shows that gene loss in the putrescine utilization pathway has enhanced biofilm formation an...

Beautiful work on the emergence of the pandemic clone of V. parahaemolyticus

Our “Less is more” story is out! 🚀 We reveal how gene loss shaped the adaptive evolution of pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus, highlight a potentially general mechanism across bacteria. Huge thanks @danielfalush.bsky.social @campy-bara.bsky.social @jaimemurtaza.bsky.social & all coauthors

What drove the post-pandemic global pertussis upsurge? Immunity debt? Waning immunity? Other factors?
Our recent study highlights the key role of pathogen evolution.
We also identified the global spread of a drug-resistant clone, MR-MT28, which warrants coordinated global surveillance.
Adaptive evolution and global spread of macrolide-resistant Bordetella pertussis during the post-pandemic pertussis resurgence
Pertussis resurgence following the COVID-19 pandemic remains poorly understood. Here, we integrate global surveillance data with 8,117 Bordetella pertussis genomes from 35 countries to investigate the...

Delighted to present our Macrogenetics atlas of prokaryotes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This is a herculean effort from Chao Yang, which has a previous existence as a preprint first posted in 2018 "why panmictic bacteria are rare?" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Macrogenetic atlas of prokaryotes
Macrogenetics investigates the patterns and predictors of intraspecific genetic variation across diverse taxa, offering a framework to address longstanding evolutionary hypotheses. Here, we present a ...
