Effects of experimental lead pollution on the microbial communities associated with Sphagnum fallax (Bryophyta) (Publications)
Ecotoxicological studies usually focus on single microbial species under controlled conditions. As a result, little is known about the responses of different microbial functional groups or individual
Variable host-pathogen compatibility in <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Studies have reported human pathogens to have geographically structured population genetics, some of which have b
The competitive cost of antibiotic resistance in <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Mathematical models predict that the future of the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis epidemic will depend on the fitness cost of drug resistance. We show that in laboratory-derived mutants of Mycobacte
Global phylogeography of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> and implications for tuberculosis product development (Publications)
New tools for controlling tuberculosis are urgently needed. Despite our emerging understanding of the biogeography of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the implications for development of new diagnostics, d
