Discordant bioinformatic predictions of antimicrobial resistance from whole-genome sequencing data of bacterial isolates: an inter-laboratory study. [PDF]

, 2019
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to public health. Clinical microbiology laboratories typically rely on culturing bacteria for antimicrobial-susceptibility testing (AST).

Whole genome sequencing reveals large deletions and other loss of function mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance genes

Microbial Genomics, 2021
Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the causative agent of tuberculosis disease, arises from genetic mutations in genes coding for drug-targets or drug-converting enzymes.

Inactivation of the antidiabetic drug acarbose by human intestinal microbial-mediated degradation

Nature Metabolism, 2023
The antidiabetic drug acarbose is shown to be degraded by a Klebsiella species present in the human gut, which is enriched with acarbose treatment and might mediate acarbose resistance and variations in clinical efficacy observed in patients.

Antimicrobial profile of Acinetobacter baumannii at a tertiary hospital in Honduras: a cross-sectional analysis

Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii is considered to be a worldwide threat to public health due to its high antimicrobial resistance rates and the severe infections it can cause. Little is known about this pathogen’s resistance in Central America.
