What was antibiotic resistance like before we ever used antibiotics? How did we change what antibiotic resistance genes looked like over 100 years?

Genomic resistance in historical clinical isolates increased in frequency and mobility after the age of antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance is frequently observed shortly after the clinical introduction of an antibiotic. Whether and how frequently that resistance occurred before the introduction is harder to determin...

New preprint where we analysed IS loads in 🦠 #Klebsiella pneumoniae lineages and found they're inversely associated with nutrient usage. We propose an insertional tolerance model, whereby IS can only insert into metabolically-tolerable sites.

Global emergence and transmission dynamics of carbapenemase-producing Citrobacter freundii sequence type 22 high-risk international clone: a retrospective, genomic, epidemiological study
Our study provides evidence to suggest that Citrobacter species are emerging carriers
of carbapenem-resistance genes. These findings provide insight into the population
structure of CPC species and hi...
