Evaluating Synergy of Clinically Utilized Phage OMKO1 with Five Antibiotics from Different Classes against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study evaluates the synergy between phage OMKO1 and five antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing reduced MIC and resistant regrowth in four of five combinations.

Community ecology of phages on a clonal bacterial host

The paper shows diverse phage communities stably coexist on a clonal bacterial host due to host phenotypic heterogeneity.

Quantifying phage infectivity from characteristics of bacterial population dynamics

This paper quantifies phage infectivity and suppression using bacterial population dynamics metrics, identifying peak density and extinction time as the most predictive.

Decay and damage of therapeutic phage OMKO1 by environmental stressors

This study examines how environmental stressors affect the decay and potency of therapeutic phage OMKO1, finding it tolerant to saline but vulnerable to heat and urea.

Pneumococcal genetic variability influences age-dependent bacterial carriage

This study identifies pneumococcal genetic factors associated with age-dependent carriage, suggesting vaccine formulations should target serotypes rather than proteins.

The spread of chloramphenicol-resistant Neisseria meningitidis in Southeast Asia

This study reports the spread of chloramphenicol-resistant Neisseria meningitidis across Southeast Asia using whole-genome sequencing of isolates from Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of RNA virus diversity in a phyllosphere microbial community

The paper examines spatiotemporal dynamics of RNA virus diversity in white clover patches, finding consistent dominance of Alphaflexiviridae and WClMV across space and time.

Horizontal gene transfer rate is not the primary determinant of observed antibiotic resistance frequencies in Streptococcus pneumoniae

The study examines antibiotic resistance frequencies in Streptococcus pneumoniae and finds that horizontal gene transfer rates are not the main factor influencing these frequencies.

Genomic surveillance for hypervirulence and multi-drug resistance in invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae from south and southeast Asia.

This study identifies diverse antimicrobial resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in South and Southeast Asia, highlighting the convergence of AMR and virulence genes.

Panton-Valentine leukocidin is the key determinant of Staphylococcus aureus pyomyositis in a bacterial genome-wide association study

Epidemiology of paediatric gastrointestinal colonisation by extended spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in north-west Cambodia

The paper investigates ESC-R-EC and ESC-R-KP colonization in Cambodian children, identifies risk factors, and characterizes resistance gene diversity and genetic contexts.
