TL;DR: This work investigated the potential of a newly released sequencing technology, the MinION from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, in the management of a hospital outbreak of Salmonella, and demonstrated that rapid MiSeq sequencing can reduce the time to answer compared to the standard sequencing protocol with no impact on the results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waste water effluent contributes to the dissemination of CTX-M-15 in the natural environment
TL;DR: The discovery of the first examples of blaCTX-M-15 in UK river sediment proves that evolution of novel combinations of resistance genes is occurring at high frequency and has to date been significantly underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional metagenomic analysis reveals rivers are a reservoir for diverse antibiotic resistance genes.
TL;DR: The study suggests that waste water disposal increases the reservoir of resistance mechanisms in the environment either by addition of resistance genes or by input of agents selective for resistant phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria: a product of globalization
TL;DR: This article reviews the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, focuses on three particular carbapenemases--imipenem carbapanemases, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbAPenemase, and New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase--and highlights the importance of control of antibiotic use.
