This study shows that library preparation methods significantly affect RNA virus detection in clinical metagenomics, with SISPA-based approaches outperforming others in most scenarios.

The paper evaluates pan-genome analysis methods using M. tuberculosis isolates, finding that annotation discrepancies and assembly quality affect results, and introduces panqc to address these issues.

The paper identifies a plasmid lineage pQEB1 carrying blaKPC-2 in a hospital outbreak, showing its multi-drug resistance and inter-patient transmission.

This study examines how prior selection with trimethoprim affects collateral resistance and evolvability in uropathogenic E. coli to other UTI antibiotics.

The paper quantifies the MTBC pangenome, revealing a small, closed genome with lineage-specific regions of difference and implications for virulence and drug resistance.

The paper examines transmission rates of borderline and common rpoB mutations in MDR-TB isolates from Bangladesh, finding no difference in transmission clustering between mutation types.
