Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are
common and morbid infections with limited therapeutic options. Previous studies have …

Using nasopharyngeal carriage as a marker of vaccine impact, pneumococcal colonization
and its relation to invasive disease were examined in children, their parents, and older adults …

To determine the duration of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage,
we studied 21 CPE carriers for» 1 year. Mean carriage duration was 86 days; probability of …

Exploiting the power of nanopore sequencing requires the development of new bioinformatics
approaches to deal with its specific error characteristics. We present the first nanopore …

Objectives To estimate the transmission rate of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
(CPE) in households with recently hospitalized CPE carriers. Methods We conducted a …

Objectives The availability of matched sequencing data for the same sample across different
sequencing platforms is a necessity for validation and effective comparison of sequencing …

Carriage duration of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) is uncertain. We
followed 21 CPE carriers over one year. Mean carriage duration was 86 (95%CrI= [60, 122]) …

Photobacterium leiognathi is a bioluminescent symbiont of fish of the Leiognathidae family.
Here, we present the full-genome sequence of P. leiognathi strain JS01, a strain isolated …
