The paper evaluates the presence of Acinetobacter-associated class D carbapenemase genes in Enterobacterales isolates in the U.S. and finds only one case of blaOXA-23-like gene in Klebsiella pneumoniae.

This paper predicts virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae using expanded gene function discoveries and machine learning, achieving higher accuracy than traditional methods.

The paper uses bacterial Hi-C to study horizontal gene transfer of mobile antibiotic resistance genes in gut microbiomes, finding distinct HGT networks between individuals and increased dispersal in neutropenic patients.
