Mobile resistome of human gut and pathogen drives anthropogenic bloom of antibiotic resistance [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND:The impact of human activities on the environmental resistome has been documented in many studies, but there remains the controversial question of whether the increased antibiotic resistance observed in anthropogenically impacted environments ...

Metagenomics and probiotics [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2012
The development of extensive sequencing methods has allowed metagenomic studies on the human gut microbiome to be carried out. This has tremendously increased our knowledge on gut microbiota composition and activity, allowing microbiota aberrations related to different diseases to be identified.

DNA structure at the plasmid origin-of-transfer indicates its potential transfer range

Scientific Reports, 2018
Horizontal gene transfer via plasmid conjugation enables antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to spread among bacteria and is a major health concern. The range of potential transfer hosts of a particular conjugative plasmid is characterised by its mobility ...

Dancing the Nanopore limbo – Nanopore metagenomics from small DNA quantities for bacterial genome reconstruction

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background While genome-resolved metagenomics has revolutionized our understanding of microbial and genetic diversity in environmental samples, assemblies of short-reads often result in incomplete and/or highly fragmented metagenome-assembled genomes ...

Complete genome sequence of bovine polyomavirus type 1 from aborted cattle, isolated in Belgium in 2014 [PDF]

, 2016
<p>The complete and fully annotated genome sequence of a bovine polyomavirus type 1 (BPyV/BEL/1/2014) from aborted cattle was assembled from a metagenomics data set. The 4,697-bp circular dsDNA genome contains 6 protein-coding genes.

Benchmark of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing using Japanese gut microbiome data from the V1–V2 and V3–V4 primer sets

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (16S analysis) is widely used to analyze microbiota with next-generation sequencing technologies. Here, we compared fecal 16S analysis data from 192 Japanese volunteers using the modified V1–V2 (V12) and the ...
