Genomic neighbor typing for bacterial outbreaksurveillance

This study introduces Sketchy, a genomic neighbor typing tool for bacterial outbreak surveillance, showing improved lineage prediction but limitations in clade-specific genotype resolution.

Phylodynamic modelling of bacterial outbreaks using nanopore sequencing

This paper uses nanopore sequencing and Random Forest models to estimate transmission dynamics of MRSA outbreaks, showing sustained transmission with Re > 1.

Revisiting the Natural History of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: a Bayesian Estimation of Natural Recovery and Mortality rates

This paper estimates natural recovery and mortality rates for tuberculosis using Bayesian methods and historical data, finding SP-TB has 15 times higher mortality than SN-TB.

Predicting the Outcomes of New Short-Course Regimens for Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Using Intrahost and Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modelling

The paper uses mathematical models to predict that short-course bedaquiline regimens could reduce MDR-TB treatment to 18 weeks with high success rates.
