Our recent paper on rifampicin resistant subpopulations in M. tuberculosis (M. tb) has been published at JAC-antimicrobial resistance.

I am really happy to see this work published just hours before submitting my DPhil thesis! 🔗👇

📢 Our preprint on rifampicin resistant subpopulations in clinical samples of M. tuberculosis has just been uploaded. We show how detection of resistant subpopulations can significantly improve WGS-based resistance prediction, and how they can help identify the source of resistance.

Researchers in @modmedmicro.bsky.social are studying the DNA of bacteria to understand the genes they carry and how they are related. This can help us detect outbreaks and track how antimicrobial resistance genes spread, so we can contain them better #WAAW2024
Putting 2 and 2 together: Using long-read bacterial genome assembly for public health surveillance
What is the problem? Studying the genetic code of bacteria (DNA) can give us vital information like the genes they carry and how they are related. This can help us detect outbreaks and track how an…
