Another new blog post: rrwick.github.io/2023/05/15/sho… Should you use a short-read polisher on your short-read assembly? This post describes a little experiment I did to shed some light. Spoiler: no, you probably shouldn't 😄 Thanks to Marit Hetland for inspiring this one!

Assigning #Legionella #pneumophila ST from short-read WGS can be tricky. Here we showed that Oxford Nanopore WGS can be used to identify the correct mompS copy and thus ST, without needing additional short-read data. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

To identify ST from long-read or hybrid assemblies, we have developed ONTmompS, which identifies the correct mompS copy based on the 1116R primer and then assigns the 7 alleles and ST using the same logic as that in #Kleborate. github.com/marithetland/O…

New klebsiella paper alert! In this study we looked at persistence of STs in the Norwegian poultry production by comparing our previously published data from 2018 to new data from 2020. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Great meeting at and great to meet Sylvain Brisse and @crodrigues887 from Pasteur and collaborators from NOR-KLEB-NET and CAMRIA

Really cool to meet other Klebsiella people in Paris! We’ll stay in touch:)

A preprint of the Norwegian Klebsiella BSI study (NORKAB) is finally out: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

On Sep 21st, Randi J Bertelsen is organising a relevant seminar focusing on antimicrobial resistance #surveillance in environmental and human samples. Join it in Bergen, or online - register here to receive a Zoom link: shorturl.at/ahiPQ Program: shorturl.at/hvwQW #AMR

>50 participants followed today’s seminar and gained new insights on AMR surveillance in environmental and human samples from great international speakers. Many thanks to Randi J Bertelsen for organizing and to the presenters & audience for their engagement in this important topic!

🔬CAMRIA event is underway in Finse! Featuring discussions on antimicrobial resistance surveillance, metagenomics, and more. Get a glimpse of this unique event! 🌨️❄️ #CAMRIA2024

🌟 Highlights from CAMRIA’s 2024 Annual Meeting! 🌟 Young researchers shone brightly, presenting cutting-edge AMR projects, and engaging discussions on communication and collaboration took center stage. Dive into the full recap here: shorturl.at/VXamI #AMR

On June 4, the research network AMR BRIDGE will present the results of four years of research, including work on new antibiotics and diagnostics to combat the silent pandemic of antibiotic resistance mohnfoundation.no/aktuelt-nb/amr…

Congratulations to double doctor Ken Lindstedt who successfully defended his PhD last week! 🎉 🎓 Check out his publications and thesis here: munin.uit.no/handle/10037/3…

Check out the insightful article by Nina Langeland & Magne Sydnes on the rising threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, as discussed in Bergens Tidende. Almost 125,000 reads already! Don’t miss out! 🌍#AntimicrobialResistance #Health #Science bt.no/btmeninger/deb…

And now polished and in print🎉 Marit Hetland Iren Høyland Löhr arnfinn sundsfjord @Orjan_Samuelsen Jørgen V. Bjørnholt journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-…

Excited to share this preprint where we’ve used genomic analysis of >3000 genomes to study Klebsiella pneumoniae in a One Health perspective 🦠🔬👩‍💻#OneHealth #KLEBGAP #KlebClub Iren Høyland Löhr @DrKatHolt NOR-KLEB-NET

Our study highlights the importance of infection prevention in human clinical settings. However, reducing transmission that leads to colonisation - e.g. from direct contact with animals or via the food chain - could also play an important role in reducing the KpSC disease burden.

RTs much appreciated... would love to reach both AMR and biomath folks! "Evolutionary accumulation modelling in AMR: machine learning to infer and predict evolutionary dynamics of multi-drug resistance" arxiv.org/abs/2411.00219 We think EvAM methods have some potential in AMR. 🧵
