This study identifies changes in CD4+ T cell surface proteins and transcriptomes during pregnancy, highlighting perturbations in the IL-6/IL-6R axis and RUNX3 expression.

This study analyzes the genomic and epidemiological differences between two Salmonella Dublin lineages, revealing distinct adaptations that influence their success in different regions.

PathoGD designs primers and gRNAs for CRISPR-Cas12a-based pathogen detection with high specificity, validated for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Streptococcus pyogenes.

This study analyzes 836 Salmonella Panama genomes to reveal population structure, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic markers of invasiveness across global regions.

This paper develops and validates tbtAMR, a bioinformatics tool for predicting antimicrobial susceptibility from Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomic data, accredited to ISO standards for clinical use.

The paper systematically evaluates key parameters affecting SNP-based transmission inference of MDROs, finding that using a closely-related reference genome and sliding-window analysis improves accuracy.

The paper presents complete microbial genomes for public health in Australia and the Southwest Pacific to enhance global genomic resources and support regional surveillance.

The paper evaluates targeted sampling strategies for detecting novel antibiotic resistance variants in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, finding that pathogen-based approaches are more efficient than patient-based ones.

The paper identifies synthetic vector-associated antibiotic resistance genes in public next-generation sequence datasets, which can mislead studies on antimicrobial resistance.

This study reconstructs genomes of drug-resistant bacteria from human faeces using metagenomic sequencing and self-organising maps, demonstrating the potential for culture-independent pathogen analysis.
