TL;DR: MGWAS analysis showed that patients with type 2 diabetes were characterized by a moderate degree of gut microbial dysbiosis, a decrease in the abundance of some universal butyrate-producing bacteria and an increase in various opportunistic pathogens, as well as an enrichment of other microbial functions conferring sulphate reduction and oxidative stress resistance.

TL;DR: The national emergency response appears to have delayed the growth and limited the size of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, averting hundreds of thousands of cases by 19 February (day 50), and suspending intracity public transport, closing entertainment venues, and banning public gatherings were associated with reductions in case incidence.

TL;DR: It is found that Chinese individuals harbour the highest number and abundance of antibiotic resistance genes, followed by Danish and Spanish individuals, and single-nucleotide polymorphism-based analysis indicates that antibiotic resistant genes from the two European populations are more closely related while the Chinese ones are clustered separately.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis suggests that Y. pestis evolved in or near China and spread through multiple radiations to Europe, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia, leading to country-specific lineages that can be traced by lineage-specific SNPs.

TL;DR: A cluster of cases associated with a single family is reported and an open-source genomic analysis of an isolate from one member of the family is described, revealing that the outbreak strain belonged to an enteroaggregative E. coli lineage that had acquired genes for Shiga toxin 2 and for antibiotic resistance.
