Elucidating the mechanisms of action and evolutionary relationships of phage anti-defence proteins
… arms race, driving the emergence of diverse bacterial defence systems that protect bacteria against phages, and corresponding phage-encoded anti-defence proteins (ADPs) that overcome these systems. Understanding the mechanisms of this co-evolutionary dynamic has had profound implications …

The role of international ‘high-risk clones’ in the emergence of metallo-b-lactamase-producing pseudomonas aeruginosa in the UK
… representatives of STs 111 and 235. CRISPR-Cas bacterial defence systems were absent from all sequenced representatives of STs 111 and 235 but were present in single representatives of STs 233, 357, 654 and 773. Overall, ‘high-risk clones’ are important in the spread of MBL-producing P. …

The evolutionary ecology of methylation-dependent bacterial defense systems
… has driven the evolution of diverse host defense systems. Although recent years have seen a rapid expansion in defense system discovery, there remain considerable gaps in our understanding of the evolutionary ecology of MGEs and host defenses. Given the role of MGEs in spreading drug resistance …
