Extended bacterial diversity of the urinary microbiome of reproductive-age healthy European women captured by culturomics and long-read amplicon sequencing

This study characterizes the urinary microbiome of healthy European women using culturomics and long-read sequencing, revealing high species diversity and inter-individual variation.

ICEs are the main reservoirs of the ciprofloxacin-modifying crpP gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study identifies ICEs as the main vectors for the dissemination of the ciprofloxacin-modifying crpP gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Megaplasmids on the rise: combining sequencing approaches to fully resolve a carbapenemase-encoding plasmid in a proposed novel Pseudomonas species

The paper combines Nanopore and Illumina sequencing to fully assemble a carbapenemase-encoding megaplasmid from a putative novel Pseudomonas species.

Carbapenemases on the move: it’s good to be on ICE

This study identifies ICEs in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that carry carbapenemase-encoding genes, highlighting their role in antibiotic resistance spread.
