Thrilled to see these preprints out after many years of planning, data collection, analysis - and huge efforts from the entire EURGen-Net CCRE Survey Working Group. It's been a pleasure working on these with Anke Kohlenberg @ecdc.europa.eu, Inga Froding & Alma Brolund at Public Health Agency Sweden.
We’re pleased to share two new preprints with results from a structured survey of carbapenem- and/or colistin-resistant Enterobacterales (CCRE), conducted in 37 European countries in 2019.

What determines who a phage can infect?

We tackled this question for temperate phages of Klebsiella — a bacterial pathogen — using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a massive protein testing effort.

👇 A thread!

Our preprint on using genomic data to explore vaccine target diversity ⬇️ A real pleasure working on this with Khalil Abudahab and the team. We're keen to gather feedback, feel free to get in touch (although I will be a little quiet for a while due to another project arriving soon! 👶)
Pleased to share our latest preprint describing vaccines.watch (vaccines.watch), an interactive platform enabling exploration of vaccine target diversity from global genome data: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Preprint on our new amr.watch tool from @thecgps.bsky.social - this incorporates and analyses genome data of key resistant pathogens from the public archives on an ongoing basis (every 4h) & presents the output via an interactive platform for monitoring AMR trends: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
