Culture-enriched metagenomics enables genome-resolved detection of low abundance ESKAPE and Vibrio pathogens in coastal habitats

This study uses culture-enriched metagenomics to detect low-abundance AMR pathogens in coastal environments, revealing distinct microbial signatures and enabling subspecies-level identification.

Lessons from the equator: a window on the future of vibriosis in a warming Earth

This study compares vibriosis incidence and causative species between equatorial Singapore and temperate United States, finding higher incidence in Singapore with stable rates, while US rates are rising, suggesting ecological impacts of warming oceans.

Pandemic Vibrio cholerae Acquired Competitive Traits from an Environmental Vibrio Species

The paper identifies V. anguillarum as a source of T6SS effectors acquired by pandemic V. cholerae through horizontal gene transfer.
