SourceFinder: a Machine-Learning-Based Tool for Identification of Chromosomal, Plasmid, and Bacteriophage Sequences from Assemblies

Derya Aytan-Aktug et al.

Summary: In this study, a random forest classifier was developed to identify the source of bacterial chromosomal, plasmid, and bacteriophage sequences. The classifier was able to successfully identify these elements using k-mer distributions of complete and partial genome sequences, including simulated metagenomic scaffolds.

Factors Associated With Candida auris Colonization and Transmission in Skilled Nursing Facilities With Ventilator Units, New York, 2016-2018

John Rossow et al.

Summary: The study investigated factors associated with C. auris colonization in ventilator-capable skilled nursing facilities in New York State. Results showed that being on a ventilator, receiving carbapenem antibiotics, having recent acute care hospital visits, and receiving systemic fluconazole were associated with C. auris colonization. Targeted screening for patients with these risk factors can help identify colonized patients and implement infection control measures, while antimicrobial stewardship may play an important role in preventing C. auris colonization.

Anatomy of an extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak in Tuscany, Italy

Melissa J. Martin et al.

Summary: This study conducted genomic analysis of NDM-producing carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tuscany, Italy, finding that the isolates belonged to the high-risk clone ST-147 and shared a recent ancestor with clinical isolates from the Middle East. Additionally, it was discovered that these isolates carried a new plasmid, indicating mutations that confer resistance to multiple antibiotics.

Regional Spread of blaNDM-1-Containing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST147 in Post-Acute Care Facilities

Zena Lapp et al.

Summary: The study identified a regional outbreak of bla(NDM-1) ST147 in post-acute care facilities in the Chicago area, which was due to the clonal dissemination of the strains between specific facilities. Genomic analysis through whole-genome sequencing revealed the clonal spread and evolutionary process of these CRE strains.

An Assessment of Siderophore Production, Mucoviscosity, and Mouse Infection Models for Defining the Virulence Spectrum of Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Thomas A. Russo et al.

Summary: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) strains are more virulent than classical K. pneumoniae (cKp), and can be differentiated by subcutaneous challenge in CD1 mice and intraperitoneal challenge in BALB/c mice. Siderophore production and mucoviscosity assays were not able to differentiate the virulence differences of hvKp isolates observed in mice.
