The paper identifies a novel qacA allele, qacA4, associated with elevated chlorhexidine gluconate MICs in Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates from pediatric oncology patients.

This study uses real-time metagenomic sequencing during a norovirus outbreak to identify transmission clusters and ongoing viral shedding in a hospital setting.

This study compares MIC distributions and genomic mutations in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from CF and non-CF patients, finding greater MIC heterogeneity and adaptive mutations in CF isolates.
