Comparative performance of portable DNA extraction protocols and bioinformatics workflows for rapid detection of gram-negative bacteria and antimicrobial resistance using Oxford Nanopore sequencing

ABSTRACT Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) enables rapid, portable pathogen identification and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) detection, but the reliability of downstream genomic analyses is highly dependent on DNA extraction quality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Thi...

One Health and antimicrobial stewardship: a call to multi-sectoral collaboration to prevent the emerging epidemic of antimicrobial resistance

A common misconception is that Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) stems solely from poor treatment management in hospitals and weak health systems. AMR is, however, driven by a multitude of factors, including environmental stressors such as contamination from industrial, agricultural...
