Whole genome sequencing (WGS) offers the potential to predict antimicrobial susceptibility
from a single assay. The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing …

Background Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae with resistance to carbapenem conferred
by New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) are potentially a major global health problem. …

A new multiplex PCR assay was developed to separate the four major Listeria monocytogenes
serovars isolated from food and patients (1/2a, 1/2b, 1/2c, and 4b) into distinct groups. …

This review provides an overview of recent progress in the exploration of genomic, transcriptomic,
and proteomic data in Listeria spp. to understand genome evolution and diversity, as …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate relatedness and molecular mechanism(s)
of ertapenem resistance in clinical isolates of Klebsiella spp. (n = 28) and Enterobacter spp. …

Colistin resistance is rare in Acinetobacter baumannii , and little is known about its mechanism.
We investigated the role of PmrCAB in this trait, using (i) resistant and susceptible clinical …

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae present an increasing and diverse problem,
including strains of multiple species with metallo-β-lactamases (IMP, NDM or VIM) and non-…

Objectives The introduction of metagenomic sequencing to diagnostic microbiology has
been hampered by slowness, cost and complexity. We explored whether MinION nanopore …

Background The spread of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens poses a major threat to global
health. It is widely recognised that the widespread use of antibiotics has generated selective …

… array, combined with the knowledge of the marker genes identified in this study, should
prove to be a powerful tool for identifying these strains (M. Doumith, C. Buchrieser, P. Glaser, C. …
