A citywide metagenomic analysis reveals surface-specific microbiome and resistome patterns in outdoor urban environments across Liverpool, UK.

Gavin Ackers-Johnson, Angus M. O’Ferrall, Andrew Holmes…·Adam Paul Roberts

The paper uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyze microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes across five urban surface types in Liverpool, finding distinct microbial and resistance profiles with higher ARG abundance on frequently contacted surfaces.

Antimicrobial activity of polymyxin A, and characterisation of the cognate biosynthetic gene cluster within the genome of the producing Paenibacillus polymyxa.

Amy McLeman, Alexander D. H. Kingdon, Robin Hoeven…·Adam Paul Roberts

This study isolates a Paenibacillus polymyxa strain, characterizes its polymyxin A biosynthetic gene cluster, and finds that resistance genes mcr-1 and mcr-4 confer resistance to polymyxin A.
