Atypical BlaIR Two-Component System in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Regulates Virulence but not β-Lactam Resistance

Jonathan Ho, Wing Yin Venus Lau, Mila Elizabeth Tkatchouk…·Amy HY Lee

This study identifies an atypical BlaIR system, pvmSR, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that regulates virulence but not β-lactam resistance, using C. elegans as a model.

Metagenome-Assembled Genome Binning Methods with Short Reads Disproportionately Fail for Plasmids and Genomic Islands

Finlay Maguire, Baofeng Jia, Kristen L. Gray…·Fiona S. L. Brinkman

This study shows that short-read MAG binning methods poorly recover plasmids and genomic islands, missing key AMR and VF genes, and recommends using unassembled reads or long-read approaches instead.
