ginmappeR: an unified approach for integrating gene and protein identifiers across biological sequence databases.

Summary: The proliferation of biological sequence data, due to developments in molecular biology techniques, has led to the creation of numerous open access databases on gene and protein sequencing. However, the lack of direct equivalence between identifiers across these databases difficults data integration. To address this challenge, we introduce , an integrated R package facilitating the translation of gene and protein identifiers between databases.

Genetic features of BEL-1-producing and KPC-2-producing E. coli from hospital wastewater: human source or sewages adaptation.

Hospital sewage is an ecosystem that facilitates the transfer of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance genes and the interaction of human and environmental bacteria. In this environment, we have detected the presence of 7 KPC-2 and BEL-1 co-producing E. coli isolates of two different clones over a 10-month period in the same hospital.
