TL;DR: A cluster of cases associated with a single family is reported and an open-source genomic analysis of an isolate from one member of the family is described, revealing that the outbreak strain belonged to an enteroaggregative E. coli lineage that had acquired genes for Shiga toxin 2 and for antibiotic resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influenza H7N9 and H9N2 Viruses: Coexistence in Poultry Linked to Human H7N9 Infection and Genome Characteristics
Xinfen Yu,Tao Jin,Yujun Cui,Xiaoying Pu,Jun Li,Jin Xu,Guang Liu,Huijue Jia,Dan Liu,Shili Song,Yang Yu,Li Xie,Renjie Huang,Hua Ding,Yu Kou,Yinyan Zhou,Yayu Wang,Xun Xu,Ye Yin,Jian Wang,Chenyi Guo,Xianwei Yang,Liangping Hu,Xiaopeng Wu,Hailong Wang,Jun Liu,Jun Liu,Guoqiu Zhao,Jiyong Zhou,Jingcao Pan,George F.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemic Clones, Oceanic Gene Pools, and Eco-LD in the Free Living Marine Pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Yujun Cui,Xianwei Yang,Xavier Didelot,Chenyi Guo,Dongfang Li,Yanfeng Yan,Yiquan Zhang,Yanting Yuan,Huanming Yang,Jing Wang,Jun Wang,Yajun Song,Dongsheng Zhou,Daniel Falush,Ruifu Yang +14 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomic analysis of 45 type strains of the genus Bifidobacterium: a snapshot of its genetic diversity and evolution.
Zhihong Sun,Wenyi Zhang,Chenyi Guo,Xianwei Yang,Wenjun Liu,Yarong Wu,Yuqin Song,Lai Yu Kwok,Yujun Cui,Bilige Menghe,Ruifu Yang,Liangping Hu,Heping Zhang +12 more
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.
