TL;DR: WGS-based AST using ResFinder 4.0 provides in silico antibiograms as reliable as those obtained by phenotypic AST at least for the bacterial species/antimicrobial agents of major public health relevance considered.

TL;DR: The model of a two‐step DNA uptake process in competent Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria is discussed and mechanistic features of both steps are highlighted by the integrative interpretation of genetic, biochemical and biophysical data.

TL;DR: Consumption of chicken meat and eating out were the most important risk factors for sporadic intestinal Campylobacter infections and efforts need to be intensified along the food chain to reduce Campyloblacter load, especially on chicken meat.

TL;DR: It is shown that group II and group III phages exhibit different kinetics of infection, which illustrated that Campylobacter phage cocktails have to be carefully composed to achieve the best results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the occurrence and the antibiotic resistance patterns of several bacterial species in certain wild animals in Germany, including wild boars (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolaus) and wild ducks (family Anatidae, subfamily Anatinae) and geese (family Anserinae).
