No innocent bystanders: pertussis vaccination and evolutionary parallelisms between Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella pertussis
Pathogens adapting to the human host and to vaccination-induced immunity may follow parallel evolutionary paths. Bordetella parapertussis (Bpp) contributes significantly to the burden of whooping coug...

New preprint finally out! So happy to share one of the latest studies from the #MedVetKlebs project, thanks to a great collaborative effort with @josefdelgadoblas.bsky.social, @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social, Elodie Barbier and Pascal Piveteau (INRAE) among others!
What drives the K. pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) to thrive from hospitals to soils? In this study, we investigate how pangenome structure and functional diversity shape KpSC adaptability across phylogenetic and ecological contexts. (Thread)
