For #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek, we introduce our recent paper on antibiotic-resistant subpopulations in TB. TB may be one of humanity’s oldest diseases, yet it still kills over 1M people yearly. As resistance spreads, knowing each patient’s resistance profile before treatment is vital. 🧬💊

📢 Our preprint on rifampicin resistant subpopulations in clinical samples of M. tuberculosis has just been uploaded. We show how detection of resistant subpopulations can significantly improve WGS-based resistance prediction, and how they can help identify the source of resistance.

Researchers in @modmedmicro.bsky.social are studying the DNA of bacteria to understand the genes they carry and how they are related. This can help us detect outbreaks and track how antimicrobial resistance genes spread, so we can contain them better #WAAW2024
