Highlighting the importance of genomic data in the fight against AMR

Why are there so many co-circulating Klebsiella pneumoniae clones? Using genomics and large-scale metabolic modelling of >7000 isolates, this study identifies structured, clone-specific metabolic spec...

Unified strain taxonomies are needed for the epidemiological surveillance of bacterial pathogens and international communication in microbiological research. Core genome multilocus sequence typing (cg...

Pathogens adapting to the human host and to vaccination-induced immunity may follow parallel evolutionary paths. Bordetella parapertussis (Bpp) contributes significantly to the burden of whooping coug...

The authors investigate the distribution of the aminoglycoside resistance gene npmA in Gram-positive bacteria via a mobile genetic element, highlighting its global presence and cross-species transfer ...

We are looking for a project manager to develop our activities around the genomic taxonomy of bacterial strains and the corresponding platform at https://bigsdb.pasteur.fr/. The project manager’s main...

A surge of cases of Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection was observed in reception centers for migrants in Europe beginning in the summer of 2022. Most of the cases were cutaneous, although some r...

This study reveals prior undetected transmission events of Corynebacterium ulcerans, suggesting pets play an intermediary role between wildlife and humans. Two main sublineages were identified, showin...

Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex are opportunistic pathogens that can transmit between humans, animals, and the environment (1). Here, we report hybrid genome assemblies of 578 (568 complete) gen...
