CarbaDetector: a machine learning model for detecting carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales from disk diffusion tests
Strain collection This study comprised 385 non-duplicate clinical Enterobacterales isolates, collected from 2012 to 2021 at the University Hospital Cologne and Klinikum Oldenburg in routine diagnostics. Species identity was determined using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and confirmed by whole genome sequencing (WGS). Of all isolates, 238 (61.8%) were carbapenemase producers, 147 (38.2%) were carbapenemase-negative. Molecular characterization […]
A divide-and-conquer approach to uncover the genomic structure of the highly virulent RA strain of Trypanosoma cruzi
RA genome sequencing and assembly Whole genome sequencing of epimastigote forms of the hybrid RA strain (TcVI) was performed using PacBio RSII technology. A total of 702,578 reads with a 9394.9 bp average length (range 35–66,694 bp) were assembled using HGAP4 software into 1815 contigs with 73 × mean coverage (Table 1). Of these, 1812 corresponded to the nuclear genome […]
Diagnostic value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing in the etiological diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infection
Given the crucial role of etiology in the diagnosis and treatment of LRTIs, research has increasingly focused on improving microbiological diagnosis. Traditional approaches are often time-consuming, have low pathogen detection rates (below 40%), and involve complex steps16. mNGS offers a promising alternative by enabling broad detection of microorganisms, strain analysis, virulence assessment, resistance gene identification, […]
