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.

Rapid identification of microbial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance from bloodstream infections using long-read sequencing

This paper presents a workflow using long-read sequencing to rapidly identify microbial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance in bloodstream infections, achieving faster results than conventional methods.

Identification of plasmid-mediated tigecycline resistance tet(x4) and New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) in an Escherichia coli isolate from Canada

The paper identifies a tigecycline-resistant E. coli strain carrying tet(x4) and NDM-5 genes from a Canadian patient.

Plasmid Profiler: Comparative Analysis of Plasmid Content in WGS Data

Plasmid Profiler is a pipeline for comparative analysis of plasmid content in WGS data without requiring de novo assembly, using read mapping to a plasmid reference database.
