The Antibiotic Resistant Sepsis Pathogens Framework Initiative aims to develop a framework dataset of 5 sepsis pathogens (5 strains each) using an integrated application of genomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic technologies. The pathogens included in this initiative are: Escheric...
Contamination of fresh produce with human pathogens remains a serious public health and economic concerns due to the absence of effective kill steps in the farm-to-fork chain. In particular, the pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 has been implicated in multiple illness outbreaks linked to lettuc...
Mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes undermine the efficacy of last-line polymyxin antibiotics, and the global prevalence of mcr-3 continues to rise despite reduced colistin use. Here, we show that mcr-3-positive Escherichia coli (E. coli) confers a survival advantage by reprogramming macrophag...
