Insertion sequence (IS) elements are transposable regions of DNA present in a majority of bacterial genomes. It is hypothesized that differences in distributions of IS elements across bacterial strain...

pRUM-like plasmids are commonly found in multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium, but the evolution of these plasmids has not been characterised in detail. When we analysed the genome sequences of tw...

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens is a major threat to global health, rendering standard treatments ineffective and increasing the risk of severe infection or death. Re...
