This study finds that finished floors in rural Bangladesh are associated with lower E. coli contamination on child hands, food, and water during periods of high rainfall and temperature.

The paper introduces Context-Seq, a CRISPR-Cas9 targeted nanopore sequencing method to study AMR transmission between humans and animals, identifying shared ARG clusters and potential pathogenic hosts.

The paper evaluates sampling strategies for detecting soil-transmitted helminths and other enteric pathogens in non-networked sanitation settings using wastewater and soil samples.

The paper develops an open-source, cloud-based tool for detecting pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in metagenomic and whole-genome sequencing data, demonstrating its application across clinical and environmental studies.

StrainGE identifies low-abundance microbial strains from metagenomic data with higher sensitivity and resolution than existing tools.
