This paper develops a workflow for detecting carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in wastewater using wet-lab methods and genomics, finding high prevalence and specific genetic markers.

This study evaluates nanopore adaptive sampling for enriching low-abundant bacterial plasmids, showing improved assembly quality and reduced sequencing time.

The paper identifies host-specific genetic variants in Campylobacter jejuni genomes from Germany and Canada, showing associations between genome characteristics and host adaptation.
