TL;DR: The evolution of virulence is linked to bacterial sex because rates of evolution have accelerated in pathogenic lineages, culminating in highly virulent organisms whose genomic contents are altered frequently by increased rates of homologous recombination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of homonymity in the context of cancer diagnosis.http://www.thelancet.com Vol 395 March 28, 202

TL;DR: The opinion that animal ESBL-producing E. coli is a major source of human infections is oversimplified, and neglects a highly complex scenario.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that poultry may be a vehicle or even a reservoir for human ExPEC strains and APEC potentially serve as a reservoir of virulence-associated genes for UPEC and NMEC is supported, and some ExPec strains, although of different pathotypes, may share common ancestors, and as a conclusion certain APEC subgroups have to be considered potential zoonotic agents.

TL;DR: The permanent porcine intestinal epithelial cell line, IPEC-J2, is characterized using a variety of methods to assess the usefulness of this cell line as an in vitro infection model and concludes that it provides a relevant in vitro model system for porCine intestinal pathogen–host cell interactions.
