This study maps wastewater contamination in the Galapagos and finds increased antimicrobial resistance genes and multidrug-resistant bacteria linked to human activity.

The paper measures seroprevalence of H5N1 and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in owned and feral cats in Philadelphia, finding rare H5N1 exposure but common SARS-CoV-2 exposure.

This paper compares metagenomic sequencing with traditional culture methods for diagnosing companion animal skin infections, showing that metagenomics identifies pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes as effectively as culture-based methods and provides additional insights into microbiome composition.
