Moving Beyond Morphology: Genomic Insights Into Evolutionary Histories of Haplosclerid Sponges

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate taxonomic identification is essential for defining species boundaries and understanding biodiversity. However, this remains challenging for groups where morphological character evolution is poorly understood or diagnostic traits are absent.

Simultaneous Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Two Pneumococcal Multilocus Sequence Types with a Serotype 3 Phenotype

International Journal of Microbiology, 2010
Knowledge of the epidemiology of pneumococcal disease in Bolivia is sparse, and Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) of isolates has not been previously possible.

Streptococcus agalactiae Sequence Type 283 in Farmed Fish, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
In 2016 and 2017, we characterized outbreaks caused by Streptococcus agalactiae serotype III sequence type (ST) 283 in Nile tilapia farms in Brazil. Whole-genome multilocus sequence typing clustered the fish isolates together with the zoonotic ST283 and ...

Historical Climate and Biome Association Drove Phylogeographic Patterns in the Dwarf Swamp Frog (Anura: Leptodactylidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South America, a region with high biodiversity, has been profoundly shaped by geological events during the Miocene and Pliocene, as well as by climatic changes in the Pleistocene, leading to complex phylogeographic patterns. The diverse biomes and the biotic exchanges between them, particularly between the Amazon and the Cerrado, have ...

Analysis of Collection of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome–associated Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Multilocus sequence typing of 169 non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) demonstrated 29 different sequence types (STs); 78.1% of these strains clustered in 5 STs.

Phylogeny, Synteny, and Distribution of Type III Secretion Systems in Burkholderia cenocepacia: A Closer Look Into Host Span

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
T3SS is a dedicated machinery that mediates interactions between bacteria and eukaryotic cells, providing a functional interface in pathogenic or symbiotic associations. Phylogenetic analyses and T3SS‐gene synteny revealed nine gene clusters, with no needle protein gene (sctF). However, an orphan CDS encoding a putative SctF was found.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for

Genomic insights into the population structure and genetic diversity of Ugandan indigenous cattle

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Domestic cattle in Africa can be categorized as either taurine (Bos taurus) or indicine (Bos indicus) based on their domestication histories from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius). Close to 150 breeds of indigenous cattle are estimated to exist in Africa and have a complex mixture of B. taurus and B. indicus ancestries.
