The two-component microbial system of the black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) gut: a plastic microbiota in the midgut, but a stable one in the hindgut

This study investigates the gut microbiota of black soldier fly larvae, revealing a plastic midgut microbiota and a stable hindgut microbiota, with implications for their polyphagous behavior.

Genomic characterization of multidrug-resistant extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae from clinical samples of a tertiary hospital in South Kivu Province, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

This study characterizes multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from a DRC hospital, identifying genetic diversity and resistance patterns.

On the many advantages of using the VariantExperiment class to store, exchange and analyze SARS-CoV-2 genomic data and associated metadata

The paper demonstrates how the VariantExperiment class addresses the need for efficient storage, handling, and sharing of SARS-CoV-2 genomic data and metadata as highlighted by WHO.

Genomic analysis of pathogenic isolates of Vibrio cholerae from eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (2014-2017)

This study analyzes genomic data from Vibrio cholerae isolates in eastern DRC to identify genetic clusters and their geographic spread across neighboring countries.

Backward compatibility of whole genome sequencing data with MLVA typing using a new MLVAtype shiny application: the example of Vibrio cholerae

The paper introduces MLVAType, a tool that extracts MLVA profiles from WGS data while maintaining compatibility with traditional MLVA methods, and identifies limitations in k-mer size affecting accuracy.
