This study uses short- and long-read metagenomics to analyze gut microbiomes in South African populations, revealing intermediate composition and novel taxa not captured by existing reference databases.

The paper develops StrainSifter to identify concordant bacterial strains between bloodstream isolates and gut microbiota using whole genome sequencing.

This study identifies diverse resistance mechanisms in CRE isolates from a Northern California health system, showing that nucleic acid testing can predict susceptibility to specific beta-lactam combinations.
