Combining genomic data and human travel patterns over a 14-year period in South Africa reveals key insights into the spread, evolution and resistance patterns of a major bacterium behind pneumonia and ...

The rapid identification and genomic analysis of zoonotic pathogens are critical for safeguarding public health and controlling outbreaks. PathoBase, an advanced computational platform, provides a ...

Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...

As long as humans have been around, there have been pathogens to make us sick. Some have achieved infamy in human history—the bubonic plague, for example, or smallpox—and with modern technologies, ...

An international research team has developed a new genomic technique that can track the spread of multiple superbugs in a hospital simultaneously. In a proof-of-concept study, scientists at the ...
