David W Eyre,Anna E. Sheppard,Hilary Madder,Ian Moir,Ruth Moroney,T Phuong Quan,David J. Griffiths,Sophie George,Lisa Butcher,Marcus Morgan,Robert Newnham,Mary Sunderland,Tiphanie Clarke,Dona Foster,Peter Hoffman,Andrew M. Borman,Elizabeth M. Johnson,Ginny Moore,Colin S Brown,A. Sarah Walker,Tim E. A. Peto,Derrick W. Crook,Katie Jeffery +22 more
TL;DR: The transmission of C. auris in this hospital outbreak was found to be linked to reusable axillary temperature probes, indicating that this emerging pathogen can persist in the environment and be transmitted in health care settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Diagnosis of Orthopedic-Device-Related Infection Directly from Sonication Fluid by Metagenomic Sequencing.
Teresa L Street,Nicholas D Sanderson,Bridget L. Atkins,Bridget L. Atkins,Andrew Brent,Andrew Brent,Kevin Cole,Dona Foster,Martin A. McNally,Sarah Oakley,Leon Peto,Adrian Taylor,Tim E. A. Peto,Tim E. A. Peto,Derrick W. Crook,Derrick W. Crook,David W Eyre,David W Eyre +17 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metagenomic sequencing can provide accurate diagnostic information in PJI and the increasing availability of portable, random-access sequencing technology offers the potential to translate metagenomics sequencing into a rapid diagnostic tool in PJi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metagenomic Nanopore sequencing of influenza virus direct from clinical respiratory samples
Kuiama Lewandowski,Yifei Xu,Steven T. Pullan,Sheila F Lumley,Dona Foster,Nicholas D Sanderson,Alison Vaughan,Marcus Morgan,Nicole Bright,James Kavanagh,Richard Vipond,Miles W. Carroll,Anthony C. Marriott,Karen E. Gooch,Monique Andersson,Katie Jeffery,Tim E. A. Peto,Derrick W. Crook,A. Sarah Walker,Philippa C Matthews,Philippa C Matthews +20 more
TL;DR: While further optimization is required to improve sensitivity, this approach shows promise for the Nanopore platform to be used in the diagnosis and genetic analysis of influenza virus and other respiratory viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time analysis of nanopore-based metagenomic sequencing from infected orthopaedic devices
Nicholas D Sanderson,Teresa L Street,Dona Foster,Jeremy Swann,Bridget L. Atkins,Andrew Brent,Andrew Brent,Martin A. McNally,Sarah Oakley,Adrian Taylor,T Peto,T Peto,Derrick W. Crook,Derrick W. Crook,David W Eyre,David W Eyre +15 more
TL;DR: A novel, scalable pipeline for real-time analysis of MinION sequence data is demonstrated and use of this pipeline is used to show initial proof of concept that metagenomic MinION sequencing can provide rapid, accurate diagnosis for prosthetic joint infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease 3 Years After the Introduction of the 13-Valent Conjugate Vaccine in the Oxfordshire Region of England
Catrin E. Moore,John Paul,John Paul,Dona Foster,Saeed A. Mahar,David Griffiths,Kyle Knox,Tim E. A. Peto,A. Sarah Walker,Derrick W. Crook +9 more
TL;DR: The annual incidence of IPD due to vaccine serotypes among children aged <2 years and nontarget groups demonstrates the success of PCV7 and PCV13 and indicates the importance of ongoing surveillance and extension of vaccine polyvalency.
