Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking a Hospital Outbreak of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with Whole-Genome Sequencing
Evan S. Snitkin,Adrian M. Zelazny,Pamela J. Thomas,Frida Stock,David K. Henderson,Tara N. Palmore,Julia A. Segre +6 more
TL;DR: Tracking a hospital outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with whole-genome sequencing revealed its origin and probable modes of transmission, and revealed the weaknesses in this medical who-done-it, informing improvements in hospital preventive measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-molecule sequencing to track plasmid diversity of hospital-associated carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
Sean Conlan,Pamela J. Thomas,Clayton Deming,Morgan Park,Anna F. Lau,John P. Dekker,Evan S. Snitkin,Tyson A. Clark,Khai Luong,Yi Song,Yu-Chih Tsai,Matthew Boitano,Jyoti G. Dayal,Shelise Brooks,Brian L. Schmidt,Alice C. Young,James W. Thomas,Gerard G. Bouffard,Robert W. Blakesley,Nisc Comparative Sequencing Program,James C. Mullikin,Jonas Korlach,David K. Henderson,Karen M. Frank,Tara N. Palmore,Julia A. Segre +25 more
TL;DR: A new DNA sequencing method is used to take a close look at one way in which antibiotic resistance spreads, and finds evidence that plasmids carrying carbapenemase genes moved from one microbial species to another within the hospital environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide prioritization of disease genes and identification of disease-disease associations from an integrated human functional linkage network.
TL;DR: The functional-linkage network is used to prioritize candidate genes for 110 diseases, and to reliably disclose hidden associations between disease pairs having dissimilar phenotypes, such as hypercholesterolemia and Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal shift in diabetic wound microbiota correlates with prolonged skin defense response
Elizabeth A. Grice,Evan S. Snitkin,Laura J. Yockey,Dustin M. Bermudez,Kenneth W. Liechty,Julia A. Segre +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a longitudinal selective shift in wound microbiota coincides with impaired healing in diabetic mice, and a parallel shift in longitudinal gene expression that occurs in a cluster of genes related to the immune response is demonstrated.

Correction for Longitudinal shift in diabetic wound microbiota correlates with prolonged skin defense response
Elizabeth A. Grice,Evan S. Snitkin,Laura J. Yockey,Dustin M. Bermudez,Kenneth W. Liechty,Julia A. Segre +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a longitudinal selective shift in wound microbiota coincides with impaired wound healing in diabetic mice (Leprdb/db; db/db) and a parallel shift in longitudinal gene expression that occurs in a cluster of genes related to the immune response.
