This paper develops a method to link plasmid-encoded AMR genes to their bacterial hosts using nanopore sequencing methylation data, achieving high accuracy in clinical samples.

This paper develops a metagenomic framework for detecting Listeria monocytogenes in food environments, showing that direct metagenomics captures more strain diversity than culture-based methods.

This study uses FTIR spectroscopy and WGS to show increased strain diversity of Malassezia pachydermatis in dogs with atopic dermatitis, with specific phylogroups enriched in affected animals.

This study uses Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to rapidly distinguish Malassezia species and resolve strain-level typing in M. pachydermatis, matching whole-genome sequencing results.
