Thomas Stanton and colleagues use whole genome sequencing to evaluate the prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae K and O antigen types in 13 countries in Africa and South Asia to help inform vaccine desi...

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

Accurate genome annotation is fundamental to decoding viral diversity and understanding bacteriophage biology; yet, the majority of bacteriophage genes remain functionally uncharacterised. Bacteriopha...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of antimicrobial resistant healthcare associated infections in neonates across sub-Saharan Africa, with multiple lineages associated with neonatal sepsis. How...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing threat to human health. Increasingly, genome sequencing is being applied for the surveillance of bacterial pathogens, producing a wealth of data to train...

An increase in shigellosis cases among men who have sex with men in the United Kingdom has been linked to an extensively drug-resistant strain of Shigella sonnei. In this genomic epidemiology study, t...

The wide adoption of bacterial genome sequencing and encoding both core and accessory genome variation using k-mers has allowed bacterial genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic var...
