Revealing the clinical relevance of .

Unlabelled: , previously misidentified as , was first described as a new species in 2020. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical relevance of by combining clinical data, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and biofilm formation in isolates obtained from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. We established a collection of 129 .

Antimicrobial susceptibility prediction from genomes: a dream come true?

Genome-based diagnostics provides relevant information to guide patient treatment and support pathogen and resistance surveillance. Recently, Coll et al. introduced a curated database for predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from Enterococcus faecium genomics data, offering excellent predictive values for susceptibility to important antimicrobials.

TaME-seq2: tagmentation-assisted multiplex PCR enrichment sequencing for viral genomic profiling.

Background: Previously developed TaME-seq method for deep sequencing of HPV, allowed simultaneous identification of the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA consensus sequence, low-frequency variable sites, and chromosomal integration events. The method has been successfully validated and applied to the study of five carcinogenic high-risk (HR) HPV types (HPV16, 18, 31, 33, and 45). Here, we present TaME-seq2 with an updated laboratory workflow and bioinformatics pipeline.
