Abstract Horizontal gene transfer events were crucial in the emergence of multicellular life. A striking example is the acquisition of Teneurins, putative surface-exposed toxins in bacteria that function as cell adhesion receptors in metazoan neuronal development. Here, we demonstrate the evolutionary relationships between metazoan and bacterial Teneurins.

Abstract Moraxella catarrhalis is an important cause of infectious exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and otitis media. To investigate the population structure of M. catarrhalis, we developed a core-genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme using 1319 core genes, and a life identification number (LIN) barcode classification system. Whole-genome analyses of nearly 2000 genomes confirmed divergent seroresistant (SR) and serosensitive (SS) M.
