Whole genome analysis identified a cefotaxime-resistant Empedobacter brevis GBW-1 isolate from ground beef encoding a novel metallo-beta-lactamase variant, blaEBR-6

Daniel Jones, Praful Aggarwal, Jamison Trewyn…·Troy Skwor

The paper identifies a multidrug-resistant Empedobacter brevis isolate from ground beef with a novel metallo-beta-lactamase variant, blaEBR-6, and three tra operons, highlighting horizontal gene transfer in AMR spread.

Bacillus subtilis maintains antibiofilm activity against Staphylococcus aureus following adaptive laboratory evolution

Kyle R. Leistikow, Elisabeth Solis, Jehan Khaled…·Krassimira R. Hristova

This study shows that long-term exposure to Bacillus subtilis 6D1 metabolites reduces S. aureus biofilm fitness and increases antibiotic sensitivity, while maintaining antibiofilm activity.
