Integrated cross-sectoral surveillance of antimicrobial resistance genotypes and phenotypes across disparate reservoirs

Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and genes are continually exchanged among humans, animals, and environmental reservoirs. Disparate and siloed surveillance methods present a major challenge for tracing and disrupting AMR transmission, with clinical monitoring focusing on de...

Lithochloron , a new genus of green algae residing in coral skeleton (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta)

Abstract Coral skeletons host diverse microbial communities, including endolithic green algae that contribute to holobiont functioning. The siphonous green alga Ostreobium (Bryopsidales) is arguably the best‐known coral endolith, but recent environmental sequencing has indicated...
