Plasmid sequences are central to a myriad of microbial functions and processes. Here, we have compiled database complete plasmid associated metadata curated from both NCBI's recent genome update, which includes plasmids as organisms, all available annotated bacterial genomes. The resultant contains 10,892 metadata.
Describing the role of plasmids and their contribution to exchange genetic material among bacteria is essential for understanding fields plasmid epidemiology, microbial ecology, commercial synthetic microbiology. Broad-host-range (BHR) are those that found not only in a single bacterial species, but members different taxonomic groups significant interest researchers many fields. We applied novel approach computationally identify new BHR plasmids, which we searched highly similar cognate...
The crisis of antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections is one the most pressing public health issues. Common agricultural practices have been implicated in generation bacteria. Biopesticides, live bacteria used for pest control, are non-pathogenic and considered safe consumption. Application bacteria-based pesticides to crops high concentrations raises possibility unintentional contributions movement resistance genes environment. However, presence clinically relevant their phenotypes...
Environmental monitoring of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for research and public health purposes has grown exponentially throughout the disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Monitoring wastewater SARS-CoV-2 provides early warning signals virus spread information on trends in infections at a community scale. Indoor environmental (e.g., swabbing surfaces air filters) to identify potential outbreaks is less common, evidence its utility mixed. A significant challenge...
Antibiotic resistance is one of the largest threats facing global health. Wastewater treatment plants are well-known hot spots for interaction between diverse bacteria, genetic exchange, and antibiotic resistance. Nonpathogenic bacteria theoretically act as reservoirs subsequently transferring genes to pathogens, indicating that evolutionary processes occur outside clinical settings may drive patterns drug-resistant infections. We isolated sequenced 100 bacterial strains from five wastewater...
