Genomic insights into extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and plasmid-borne AmpC-producing Escherichia coli transmission between humans and livestock in rural Cambodia
Introduction. The global spread of extended-spectrum cephalosporinase-producing Escherichia coli (producing extended-spectrum β-lactamase or plasmid-borne AmpC, hereafter ESC-Ec) is a major public hea...

Host ecology regulates interspecies recombination in bacteria of the genus Campylobacter
Horizontal gene transfer can potentially merge genomes from distinct bacterial species, but isolation in different hosts creates a physical barrier to gene flow.

Sharing of cmeRABC alleles between C. coli and C. jejuni associated with extensive drug resistance in Campylobacter isolates from infants and poultry in the Peruvian Amazon | mBio
Antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter is a growing public health concern, driven by the rapid evolution and zoonotic transmission
of resistant strains. This study focuses on mutations in the cmeAB...

Geographical variation in the incidence of colorectal cancer and urinary tract cancer is associated with population exposure to colibactin-producing Escherichia coli
Biomedical research has implicated the bacterial metabolite colibactin as a causal risk factor for several cancer types, in particular, colorectal can…
