TL;DR: The authors in this paper evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of 20 strains of S. heidelberg (SH) isolated from broilers produced in southern Brazil and found that the similarity and presence of genetic determinants linked to virulence, antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and in silico-predicted metabolic interactions revealed this serovar as a threat to public health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible genes and molecular mechanism involved with a probiotic profile of CIDCA 133 through a genomic approach associated with in vitro and in vivo analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the safety aspects of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis CIDCA 133 based on whole-genome sequence and phenotypic analysis was investigated to avoid future questions about the harmful effects of this strain consumption.

TL;DR: The LGCM 259 strain's genome carries important factors of bacterial virulence that are essential in cell viability, virulence, and pathogenicity, and may reflect a high interspecific diversity and a possible adaptive mechanism responsible for the survival of each species in its specific niche.

TL;DR: The use of optical mapping is highlighted, to detect and correct assembly errors in Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and it is demonstrated that choosing a reference genome should be done with caution to avoid assembly errors and loss of genetic information.
