Rising antibiotic resistance is a global threat that is projected to cause more deaths than all
cancers combined by 2050. In this review, we set to summarize the current state of antibiotic …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread among bacteria. However, not all ARGs
pose serious threats to public health, highlighting the importance of identifying those that are …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have accelerated microbial threats to human health in
the last decade. Many genes can confer resistance, but evaluating the relative health risks of …

We present a global atlas of 4,728 metagenomic samples from mass-transit systems in 60
cities over 3 years, representing the first systematic, worldwide catalog of the urban …

The presence of antibiotics can exert significant selection pressure on the emergence and
spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) …

Since its introduction, nanopore sequencing has enhanced our ability to study complex
microbial samples through the possibility to sequence long reads in real time using …

Infections caused by carbapenemase-producing enterobacteria (CPE) are a major concern
in clinical settings worldwide. Two fundamentally different processes shape the …

In-depth profiling of genetic variations in the gut microbiome is highly desired for
understanding its functionality and impacts on host health and disease. Here, by harnessing …

Human blood is conventionally considered sterile but recent studies suggest the presence of
a blood microbiome in healthy individuals. Here we characterized the DNA signatures of …
