Global genomic epidemiology of multi-carbapenemase Enterobacterales

This study analyzes 1501 global genomes of multi-carbapenemase Enterobacterales, identifying common allelic combinations, plasmid distributions, and evolutionary mechanisms.

Enterobacterales plasmid sharing amongst human bloodstream infections, livestock, wastewater, and waterway niches in Oxfordshire, UK

The paper investigates plasmid sharing among Enterobacterales in human infections, livestock, wastewater, and waterways in Oxfordshire, finding shared plasmid backbones and rapid accessory gene changes across niches.

Optimised use of Oxford Nanopore Flowcells for Hybrid Assemblies

This study optimizes Oxford Nanopore Flowcell usage for hybrid assemblies by reducing sequencing time and cost through washing steps, enabling more isolates per flowcell.

Genomic network analysis of an environmental and livestock IncF plasmid population

The paper analyzes IncF plasmid diversity across environmental and livestock settings using network community analysis, revealing niche-driven partitioning and core gene-defined communities.

Metrics for Public Health Perspective Surveillance of Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

The paper develops a metagenomic metric to predict antibiotic resistance in Enterobacterales infections using pooled human faecal samples from LMICs and high-income settings.
