Antimicrobial susceptibility prediction from genomes: a dream come true?
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Mar 2:S0966-842X(24)00052-0. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.02.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGenome-based diagnostics provides relevant information to guide patient treatment and support pathogen and resistance surveillance. Recently, Coll et al. introduced a curated database for predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from Enterococcus faecium genomics data, offering excellent predictive values for susceptibility to important antimicrobials. Challenges to predict resistance to last-resort antimicrobials remain.PMID:38433028 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2024.02.012 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)

Engineering agricultural soil microbiomes and predicting plant phenotypes
Trends Microbiol. 2024 Feb 29:S0966-842X(24)00043-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2024.02.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve crop yields, nutrient use efficiency, plant tolerance to stressors, and confer benefits to future generations of crops grown in the same soil. Unlocking the potential of microbial communities in the rhizosphere and endosphere is therefore of great interest for sustainable agriculture advancements. Before plant microbiomes can be engineered to confer desirable phenotypic effects on their plant hosts, a deeper understanding of the interacting factors influe...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShigella is an important human-adapted pathogen which contributes to a large global burden of diarrhoeal disease. Together with the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance and lack of an effective vaccine, there is great urgency to identify novel therapeutics and preventatives to combat Shigella infection. In this review, we discuss the development of innovative technologies and animal models to study mechanisms underlying Shigella infection of humans. We examine recent literature introducing (i) the org...
