Geographic divergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST5-SCCmecI in the aftermath of a major earthquake and tsunami: impact of a plasmid harboring heavy metal resistance genes | mBio

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of life-threatening infections worldwide and a growing public health concern. The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as MRSA, is often linked to genetic adaptations that enhance ...

Here is our latest on finding recombination in microbial genomes. No alignment, no phylogeny. Just information theory. Congrats Apurva and the whole team! This one was a pongvtime coming. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

What Do We Gain When Tolerating Loss? The Information Bottleneck Wrings Out Recombination

Abstract. Most microbes have the capacity to acquire genetic material from their environment. Recombination of foreign DNA yields genomes that are, at leas

In this study we tracked carriage, transmission, and invasive infection with S. aureus across 33 months in the NICU. Using longitudinal WGS, we identify risk factors for transmission of invasive clones, and show strains that are transmitted more rapidly are more likely to cause invasive disease

Excited to share our work with @pjplanet.bsky.social and @ahmedmicrobes.bsky.social tracking Staph aureus transmission across the NICU using genomics!! This study was co-led by the amazing @qianxuan.bsky.social and Lakshmi Srinivasan, and made possible by the @centermicrobialmed.bsky.social

Transmission of Staphylococcus aureus in the neonatal intensive care unit predicts invasive infection

Background Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infection and is one of the most common pathogens causing serious invasive infection in the neonatal intensive care unit (N...
