The paper introduces a dual barcoding system for bacterial strain classification using Klebsiella pneumoniae genomes, defining sublineages with genetic dissimilarity thresholds and providing a publicly accessible taxonomy platform.

This study traces the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae by analyzing genome sequences from multiple countries and time periods, revealing recombination events and antibiotic-driven mutations.
