One Health genomic surveillance identifies potential genetic links of antimicrobial-resistant foodborne pathogens across sectors

Foodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance are major global health concerns. The integration and analysis of genomic surveillance data across human, animal, and environmental sectors remain a critical challenge in the study of foodborne bacteria. Here we investigate potenti...

Fine-scale structural diversification among closely related Legionella pneumophila isolates from a bath-associated environmental reservoir

ABSTRACT Legionella pneumophila populations within environmental reservoirs can exhibit genomic diversity, complicating source attribution during outbreak investigations. Core genome single-nucleotide variant (cgSNV)-based approaches are widely used for identifying closely relate...
