The paper analyzes genomic evolution in persistent Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia, identifying a molecular signature with low mutation frequency and high non-silent mutations.

RM-seq detects and quantifies antibiotic resistance mutations in bacterial populations with high sensitivity and accuracy.

The paper analyzes the genomic epidemiology of VREfm in Victoria, Australia, finding that vanA-VREfm is associated with multiple STs and clonal transmission within hospitals, while vanB-VREfm is widespread and disseminated across institutions.

This study combines real-time genomic and epidemiological analysis to identify and manage KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae outbreaks, revealing transmission networks and informing infection control.

This study reconstructs genomes of drug-resistant bacteria from human faeces using metagenomic sequencing and self-organising maps, demonstrating the potential for culture-independent pathogen analysis.
