Mycobacterium microti is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex of bacteria. This species was
originally identified as a pathogen of small rodents and shrews and was associated with limited diversity and
a much reduced spoligotype patter... Read More about Mycobacterium microti: More diverse than previously thought.

The emerging tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum
is under increasing scrutiny for the existence of
subpopulations that are adapted to different natural cycles.
Here, we characterized the diversity of A. phagocytophilum
genotypes circula... Read More about Delineating anaplasma phagocytophilum ecotypes in coexisting, discrete enzootic cycles.
