Pan-genus analysis and typing of antimicrobial resistance plasmids in Acinetobacter www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New paper in Microbial Genomics! Amazing work by @eradah.bsky.social & @liamtobin1.bsky.social & another great collaboration with François Lebreton & Patrick McGann. Here is the link: microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... #AMR #Acinetobacter @aimi-uts.bsky.social

Just published in JAC! We characterised the genomic features of the multi-resistant A. baumannii global clone 1 reference strain RUH875 — one of the earliest known isolates recovered in 1984 and an important genome for tracing the evolution of AMR in Ab. academic.oup.com/jac/article/... #AMR

🚨 New preprint out! Pan-Genus Analysis and Typing of AMR Plasmids in Acinetobacter Here, is the link: doi.org/10.21203/rs.... #AMR #Acinetobacter @liamtobin1.bsky.social @margaretlam.bsky.social @aimi-uts.bsky.social

New pre-print!!! What types of genes end up on plasmids and why? The take home message of this paper is that beneficial genes move from plasmids to chromosome, causing the ecological value of plasmids to decay over time. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New year, new assemblies! I'm excited to announce Autocycler, my new tool for consensus assembly of long-read bacterial genomes! It's the successor to Trycycler, designed to be faster and less reliant on user intervention. Check it out: github.com/rrwick/Autoc... (1/5)
