This paper develops a method to link plasmid-encoded AMR genes to their bacterial hosts using nanopore sequencing methylation data, achieving high accuracy in clinical samples.

The paper identifies bacterial taxa that drive colonisation resistance to MRSA in human nasal microbiome samples using in vitro experiments and community assembly.

This study identifies nasal commensal bacterial species and combinations that inhibit MRSA, including antibiotic-resistant strains, through in vitro experiments.

This study identifies the Fsr quorum sensing system in Enterococcus faecalis as a negative regulator of biofilm growth and inflammation in infective endocarditis.

This paper develops a cross-scale model to study how gut microbiota dynamics influence antimicrobial resistance persistence and transmission across hospital and community settings.
