The paper uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to analyze microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes across five urban surface types in Liverpool, finding distinct microbial and resistance profiles with higher ARG abundance on frequently contacted surfaces.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to study ESBL-Ec transmission networks in rural Malawi, finding high colonization rates and multi-household spread.

This study identifies freshwater snail faeces as environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes across multiple countries using metagenomic analysis.

This study uses shotgun metagenomic analysis of oral saliva from children with noma to identify Treponema sp. A as a novel disease-associated organism and highlights antimicrobial resistance concerns.
