Dental spittoon biofilms as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance: a longitudinal multi-omics study

ABSTRACT Dental chair spittoons are chronically exposed to saliva, aerosols, intermittent water flow, and chemical disinfectants, yet their biofilm ecology and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dynamics remain poorly defined. We applied longitudinal 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun...

Cross-sectional serological evidence of Brucella spp. exposure in dogs and occupationally exposed humans in Ghana: implications for a one health approach

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease of public health concern in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana, where it is reported in livestock. Research on canine brucellosis in Ghana is limited. Due to the risk of Brucella spp. infection via the contact of human beings with dogs and dog r...

Phylogenomics and antimicrobial resistance genes of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella in the Ashanti region of Ghana

Abstract Background Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease is a major public health threat in developing countries, yet molecular epidemiological data from Ghana remain limited. This study characterizes the phylogenomic profiles and antimicrobial resistance determinants...
