Finally, we wondered whether the strain replacement we observed at our hospital was a widespread phenomenon by examining over 15,000 publicly available VREfm genomes. We found that what is happening at UPMC is also happening all over the world. Global genomic surveillance for the win!

To test whether bacteriocin T8 could help VREfm colonize the intestine, we phoned a friend @joeyzacks.bsky.social. The Zackular lab performed a mouse colonization study, which showed that bacteriocin T8 provided a strong competitive advantage in the mammalian gut.

In this study, first author @emmamills1.bsky.social took all the genomes collected by EDS-HAT between 2017 and 2022 and asked a simple question: which VREfm lineages are prevalent in the population, and does their prevalence change over time? Spoiler alert: There were big changes!
