The paper characterizes microbial communities in hospital sinks, showing they are stable, multi-kingdom reservoirs harboring MDROs and shaped by environmental factors.

The paper analyzes how water treatment affects microbial communities and opportunistic pathogens in two water sources, finding that treatment processes can enrich specific taxa despite reducing bacterial loads.

The study analyzes the gut resistome of the Wayampi, revealing similar antibiotic resistance gene richness to Europeans but higher metal resistance gene diversity, highlighting shared and distinct resistance patterns.

The paper investigates the long-term dynamics of Serratia marcescens complex in hospital sinks, identifying persistent strains linked to outbreaks and revealing new insights into their ecology and resistance gene acquisition.

The paper identifies over 16,000 secreted proteins in Legionella species, revealing their ability to acquire eukaryotic-like genes for intracellular replication in human cells.
