Researchers discover how phage resistance contributes to the emergence of dominant strains of Salmonella

Researchers from the Quadram Institute and the University of East Anglia have discovered how resistance has contributed to the emergence of dominant strains of Salmonella. In addition to antimicrobial resistance, bacteriophage resistance can give these insects a boost, at least in the short term. With the rise in antimicrobial resistance, the search for new ways …

Clinical implementation of continuous genomic surveillance to identify, track and interrupt the transmission of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are generally associated with an increased risk of developing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, many patients are affected by HAIs, which has significantly increased the overall operational cost of the healthcare system. Although it is extremely important to identify pathogens with high transmission rates in hospital settings, the capacity of diagnostic laboratories is …
