This study characterizes household microbiomes in three global cities, finding significant differences in bacterial diversity and core microbiomes across locations and countries.

This study examines antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors, and pathogens in household environments across three global cities, revealing geographic and spatial variations in microbial profiles.

The study assesses phenotypic resistance of Campylobacter isolates resistant to azithromycin and ciprofloxacin to additional antibiotics using Kirby-Bauer methods.

This study compares the performance of SimpliAmp and Bio-Rad thermal cyclers for PCR-based detection of Vibrio cholerae, finding no significant differences in most assays but highlighting SimpliAmp's cost-effectiveness.

This study identifies C. jejuni strains in American black bears, showing genetic diversity and potential host-specific adaptations.

This study compares C. jejuni strains causing watery or bloody diarrhea in piglets, finding that bloody strains exhibit greater virulence traits like cell invasion and barrier disruption.

This study compares growth rates and metabolic traits between Campylobacter jejuni strains associated with watery and bloody/inflammatory diarrhea in a neonatal piglet model.

This study characterizes bacterial diversity on melon rinds across US regions and identifies regional influences on microbiome composition.

The paper investigates how urbanization affects the spread of antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter jejuni in wild birds, finding a positive correlation between urban proximity and AMR gene prevalence.
