The paper uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyze microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes across five urban surface types in Liverpool, finding distinct microbial and resistance profiles with higher ARG abundance on frequently contacted surfaces.

This study compares laboratory evolution of piperacillin-tazobactam resistance in Klebsiella grimontii with within-patient resistance evolution, showing that small population bottlenecks reproduce key resistance mechanisms observed in clinical isolates.

This study isolates a Paenibacillus polymyxa strain, characterizes its polymyxin A biosynthetic gene cluster, and finds that resistance genes mcr-1 and mcr-4 confer resistance to polymyxin A.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to study ESBL-Ec transmission networks in rural Malawi, finding high colonization rates and multi-household spread.

The paper identifies novel β-lactamase genes from environmental Pseudomonas spp. isolates, showing their resistance properties and potential clinical relevance.

This study compares genomic and phenotypic differences between faecal and bloodstream isolates from the same patients to understand pathogenesis of Gram-negative bloodstream infections.
