The paper investigates the exchange of bacteria and carbapenem resistance genes between sewer biofilms and wastewater under controlled and field conditions.

The paper evaluates wastewater sampling methods for detecting carbapenemase genes in long-term care facilities and finds passive sampling may be a suitable alternative to composite sampling.

This paper identifies MicC as a multifunctional regulator of ExPEC fitness and virulence across host niches by modulating multiple pathways beyond its known target OmpC.

The paper tracks a multidrug-resistant E. coli lineage over years, identifies a globally distributed resistance island, and finds resistance gene co-occurrence networks and antibiotic tolerance in isolates lacking known resistance mechanisms.

The paper proposes a roadmap for fair reuse of public microbiome data by introducing a Data Reuse Information tag (DRI) to facilitate communication between data creators and consumers.

The paper investigates bacterial diversity and natural product potential in Great Salt Lake sediment, identifying a new Saccharomonospora species and characterizing genomic features of Actinomycetota.
