TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that livestock-associated MRSA CC398 originated in humans as MSSA, which appears to have undergone a rapid radiation in conjunction with the jump from humans to livestock, where it subsequently acquired tetracycline and methicillin resistance.

TL;DR: Results in this study are consistent with Nepal as the origin of the Haitian outbreak, highlighting how rapidly infectious diseases might be transmitted globally through international travel and how public health officials need advanced molecular tools along with standard epidemiological analyses to quickly determine the sources of outbreaks.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates how NASP compares with other tools in the analysis of two real bacterial genomics datasets and one simulated dataset and demonstrates differences in results based on the choice of the reference genome and choice of inferring phylogenies from concatenated SNPs or alignments including monomorphic positions.

TL;DR: In this article , a bifidogenic live bacterial product (CBM588) was proposed to augment the response to checkpoint inhibitors through modulation of the gut microbiome, and the results showed that CBM588 appeared to enhance the clinical outcome in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with nivolumab-ipilimumab.

TL;DR: The emergence of distinct populations of Cryptococcus gattii in the temperate North American Pacific Northwest was surprising, as this species was previously thought to be confined to tropical and semitropical regions.
