TL;DR: Wastewater-based surveillance of AMR in human populations appears relatively robust, with most included studies reporting a correlation despite high diversity in study design and methodology, and supports sampling of wastewater influent using composite sampling (at a minimum) as a standard.

TL;DR: This work provides sequence data for type strains of 64 taxa in the genus Staphylococcus that at the time of this writing have standing in the nomenclature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a real-time population screening and identification of groups in whom positivity is highest to help monitor spread and inform public health messaging and strategy, using the COVID-19 Infection Survey.

TL;DR: A crowd of volunteers can reproducibly and accurately determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 13 drugs and that simply taking the median or mode of 11–17 independent classifications is sufficient is sufficient, suggesting a potential role for crowds to support (but not supplant) the role of experts in antibiotic susceptibility testing.

TL;DR: The diagnosis-dominant Charlson score and Elixhauser score using a 1-year lookback, and their interaction, provided the best comorbidity adjustment and improved model fit further.
