Clinical metagenomics (CMg) offers high-throughput respiratory pathogen detection with a wider range than targeted, probe-dependent diagnostics. Seque…

Nature Biotechnology - A long-read metagenome assembly method recovers circular and complete genomes better than existing tools.

Using individual-level data from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register and fecal metagenomes of 14,979 individuals in Sweden, the authors examined the association between oral antibiotic use over 8 yea...

Background Clinical metagenomics (CMg) offers high-throughput respiratory pathogen detection with a wider range than targeted, probe-dependent diagnostics. Sequencing cost and the challenges of high h...

Author summary Bacteria can survive exposure to antibiotics by constantly repairing cellular damage induced by the drug. This “antibiotic tolerance” enables diverse bacteria to survive long enough to ...

AbstractObjectives. WGS has become a key tool for diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections, but discrepancies between genotypic and phenotypic drug

Surveillance and prediction of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli relies on curated databases of genes and mutations. We aimed to quantify the …

Dorottya Nagy writes about the experiences from the Modernising Medical Microbiology (MMM) Unit research group on engaging wet lab, computer lab, and office teams on the sustainability agenda.

This study found E. coli phylogenetic background shapes TEM-1 beta-lactamase expression and co-amoxiclav resistance. Phylogeny alone shifted isolates from susceptible to resistant, stressing a need for lineage-sensitive genotype-phenotype prediction.

AbstractSummary. Computational models in biology can increase our understanding of biological systems, be used to answer research questions, and make predi

Whole bacterial genome sequence reconstruction using Oxford Nanopore Technologies ('Nanopore') long-read only sequencing may offer a lower-cost, higher-throughput alternative for pathogen surveillance...

LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Diabetic infections are a reservoir for the emergence and proliferation of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.

Assessing more than 12,000 metagenomic samples from across the world using computational approaches, the authors determined interactions between species that co-colonize or co-exclude Enterobacteriace...

Abstract. Bacterial genomes primarily diversify via gain, loss, and rearrangement of genetic material in their flexible accessory genome. Yet the dynamics

Phylowave, an innovative phylogenetic approach, can identify the main circulating pathogen lineages with increased fitness and the associated genetic changes, enabling the timely identification of…
