Infectious diseases are the second most important cause of human death worldwide;
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a very common human pathogenic microorganism that …

Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to public health that dramatically undermines our
ability to treat bacterial infections. Microorganisms exhibit resistance to different drug classes …

Objectives WGS-based antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is as reliable as phenotypic
AST for several antimicrobial/bacterial species combinations. However, routine use of WGS …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an urgent public health threat due to rapidly increasing incidence
and antibiotic resistance. In contrast with the trend of increasing resistance, clinical isolates …

Silent genes are DNA sequences that are generally not expressed or expressed at a very
low level. These genes become active as a result of mutation, recombination, or insertion …

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the gravest threats to human health
and food security worldwide. The use of antimicrobials in livestock production can lead to …

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of
infections in humans, such as skin and soft tissue infections, pneumonia, food poisoning or …

Acquisition and expression of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms in bacteria are
often associated with a fitness cost. Thus, evolutionary adaptation and fitness cost …

This study investigated genotypic and phenotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles,
phylogenic relatedness, plasmid and virulence composition of 39 Salmonella enterica …

Antimicrobial resistance is a global issue that limits therapeutic options for infections. S.
aureus being a member of the ESKAPE group is capable of “escaping” the biocidal action of …
