Mosquito host background impacts microbiome-Zika virus interactions in field- and laboratory-reared Aedes aegypti - Animal Microbiome
Mosquito microbiota abundance and composition are modulated by a variety of factors, including pathogen exposure. The microbiome can also influence pathogen infection of the host and thus harbours con...

A high-resolution genomic and phenotypic analysis of resistance evolution of an Escherichia coli strain from a critically unwell patient treated with piperacillin/tazobactam
Introduction. Resistance to the β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combination antibiotic piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) predominantly occurs via β-lactamase enzymes, also leading to resistance to...
