The @klebnet.bsky.social team are pleased to share slides from our “Klebsiella pneumoniae Genomic Epidemiology & Antimicrobial Resistance” lecture series!

Topics include Kleb diversity, lineages, AMR, hypervirulence, how to use Kaptive & Kleborate for typing, and more!

Dear community, Bakta needs your help!

To further improve the functional annotation of "hypothetical" CDS, me and @gbouras13.bsky.social, we are looking for the worst Bakta-annotated bacterial genomes ;-)

It's time to go home after #IMMEMXIV. It's been 4 days of great sessions, people, and food. Thanks to the organizers and participants. I hope to see so many colleagues and friends again soon.

Register today for the 14th International Meeting on Microbial Epidemiological Markers (IMMEM XIV)! Topics range from how genomics inform resistance profiling to pathogen surveillance in a #OneHealth framework. 🧬

Our paper “Global dissemination of npmA mediated pan‑aminoglycoside resistance via a mobile element in Gram‑positive bacteria” is now in @natcomms.nature.com. Part of my freshly defended PhD, so doubly happy! 😄🎉

Supercool work on a new variant of the pan-aminoglycoside resistance gene npmA, led by @cserna.bsky.social and @bgzorn.bsky.social.
Really happy to have participated in it with so many friends and collaborators!
Go check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share this preprint focused on the genomic taxonomy of C. diphtheriae #diphtheria
➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Hope it helps advance research and surveillance of this relevant bacterial pathogen. Thanks to @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and BEBP and BIGSdb teams for making it possible!

The BIGSdb-Pasteur project, running under my supervision since 20 years, is looking for a project manager - great opportunity to contribute to this high-profile international resource in the field of reference strain taxonomies, genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance surveillance

A new report describes the genetic epidemiology and antimicrobial-resistance patterns of a surge of cases of 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘱𝘩𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘦 infection that was identified in migrant populations in Europe. Read the full report: nej.md/3HEF3ZS

We are pleased to launch the KlebNET Genomic Epidemiology Consortium!

We aim to build a public metadata repository; systematic risk framework for global genomic surveillance; and genomic epi reviews for high-impact #Klebsiella clones.

#ABPHM25

Happy to share this resource of 568 closed Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex hybrid assemblies, including 1416 plasmids! ⭕️🦠

We hope this will be useful
- short reads, long reads, hybrid assembly or all combined - for your own tools/validations 🥳 #Microsky
