Temporal Dynamics of Microbial Community Composition and Antimicrobial Resistance in a Mass Gathering Setting Using Culturomics and Metagenomic Approaches.

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major global concerns in the current scenario. Mass-gathering events in fast-developing and densely populated areas may contribute to antibiotic resistance. Despite meticulous planning and infrastructure development, the effect of mass gatherings on microbial ecosystems and antibiotic resistance must be investigated.

Diversity of resistant determinants, virulence factors, and mobile genetic elements in from India: A comprehensive in silico genome analysis.

Introduction: The frequency of infections associated with multidrug resistant has risen substantially in India. The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques combined with comparative genomics has great potential for tracking, monitoring, and ultimately controlling the spread of this troublesome pathogen. Here, we investigated the whole genome sequences of 47 A from India.

MicFunPred: A conserved approach to predict functional profiles from 16S rRNA gene sequence data.

The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing is a popular technique that provides accurate characterization of microbial taxonomic abundances but does not provide any functional information. Several tools are available to predict functional profiles based on 16S rRNA gene sequence data that use different genome databases and approaches. As variable regions of partially-sequenced 16S rRNA gene cannot resolve taxonomy accurately beyond the genus level, these tools may give inflated results.
