TL;DR: It is suggested that by stepwise gain and loss of chromosomal and plasmid-encoded virulence factors, a highly pathogenic hybrid of EAEC and EHEC emerged as the current outbreak clone.

TL;DR: An up-to-date snapshot of how benchtop platforms have evolved since the previous study is provided to bring readers’ attention to some shortcomings in the report from Loman et al.1.

TL;DR: A new L. monocytogenes typing scheme based on genome-wide gene-by-gene comparisons to allow for a unique typing nomenclature that improves outbreak investigations and enables interlaboratory exchange of data that are crucial, especially for rapid responses during transsectorial outbreaks.

TL;DR: Real-time microbial WGS in this institution was feasible, produced precise actionable results, helped us to monitor transmission rates that remained low following a modification in isolation procedures, and ultimately saved costs.

TL;DR: Taxonomic analysis revealed different microbial shifts between both therapy approaches at all taxonomic levels, most remarkably, the genera Porphyromonas, Tannerella, Treponema, and Filifactor all harboring periodontal pathogenic species were removed almost only in the group treated with SPR and antibiotics.
