TL;DR: The genome sequences of 213 Lactobacilli strains and associated genera are reported, and their encoded genetic catalogue for modifying carbohydrates and proteins are described, and a robust phylogenomic framework of existing species and for classifying new species is presented.

TL;DR: Examination of poultry and environmental specimens from local markets and farms in Hangzhou provides direct evidence that H9N2 strains coexisted with the novel human-pathogenic H7N9 influenza virus in epidemiologically linked live poultry markets.

TL;DR: Global patterns of variation in whole-genome sequences of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a free-living and seafood associated marine bacterium, are investigated to allow a detailed understanding of how selection acts to structure the pattern of variation within natural bacterial populations.

TL;DR: A robust genealogy for Bifidobacterium is built based on 402 core genes and its root is defined according to the phylogeny of the tree of bacteria, suggesting host-specific adaptation in species isolated from different hosts.

TL;DR: Investigating 446 global isolated Y. pestis genomes, including 78 newly sequenced isolates sampled over 40 years from a plague focus in China, provides evidence for strong selection pressures on the RNA polymerase ω-subunit encoding gene rpoZ and shows evidence for climate-associated selection on rPOZ to increase biofilm production.
