Genomic analysis of Legionella pneumophila in the drinking water system of a large building over 25 years
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, is often found in the plumbing systems of buildings, from where it can be transmitted to humans via inhalation or aspiration of co...

Evaluating methods for genome sequencing of Chlamydia trachomatis and other sexually transmitted bacteria directly from clinical swabs
Rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are rising, and accessing their genomes provides information on strain evolution, circulating strains and encoded antimicrobial resistance (AM...
