Mykrobe k-mer panel genotypes Salmonella Typhi lineages, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers and plasmids from Illumina or nanopore reads, matching mapping-based lineage calls for 99.8% of genomes.

This study characterizes phage-plasmids in clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates, finding they are common and associated with antimicrobial resistance and disease severity.

The paper introduces TyphiNET, a dashboard for exploring Typhi genomics data to support public health decisions on antimicrobial resistance and vaccine implementation.

This study identifies phage-plasmids in multiple Salmonella serovars, showing their prevalence and serovar-specific distribution, with implications for antimicrobial resistance transmission.

The paper introduces Pathogenwatch, a tool for genomic surveillance of Salmonella Typhi, enabling AMR prediction and population-level risk assessment through global data sharing.

This paper reports the first routine use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for public health microbiology, demonstrating its impact on Salmonella identification, surveillance, and outbreak investigation.
