Duplex real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Achromobacter spp.

The paper develops a duplex real-time PCR assay to detect Achromobacter spp. and A. xylosoxidans, showing improved accuracy over existing methods.

In vitro and in vivo efficacy of the combination of colistin and endolysins against clinical strains of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) pathogens

This study evaluates the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of combining colistin with endolysins ElyA1 and ElyA2 against MDR pathogens, finding that ElyA1 enhances colistin's antimicrobial activity and reduces its MIC.

Quantitative real-time PCR assay for the rapid identification of the multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

This paper develops a real-time PCR assay for rapid and accurate detection of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in clinical and environmental samples.

Pathogen to commensal: longitudinal within-host population dynamics, evolution, and adaptation during a chronic >16-year Burkholderia pseudomallei infection

This study tracks the long-term evolution of Burkholderia pseudomallei in a human host over 16 years, showing its transition from a pathogen to a commensal through genetic and phenotypic changes.

Transcriptomic analysis of longitudinal Burkholderia pseudomallei infecting the cystic fibrosis lung

This study analyzes transcriptomic changes in Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates from cystic fibrosis patients over time, identifying gene expression patterns linked to adaptation and antibiotic resistance.
