Commensal taxa in gut microbiota limit antibiotic resistance during extended oral antibiotic use

The paper tracks antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dynamics in mice during long-term antibiotic treatment, finding that commensal bacteria reduce ARG burden by outcompeting resistant taxa.

Chronic Viral Reactivation and Associated Host Immune Response and Clinical Outcomes in Acute COVID-19 and Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19

This study investigates viral reactivation in COVID-19 patients, finding associations between reactivation of specific virus families and clinical outcomes, including mortality and PASC symptoms.

Simultaneous detection of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes with the open source, cloud-based, CZ ID pipeline

The paper develops an open-source, cloud-based tool for detecting pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in metagenomic and whole-genome sequencing data, demonstrating its application across clinical and environmental studies.
