💾 ABRicate 1.2.0 has been released!

This 'oversight' lasted 6 years, but with help from @finlaym.bsky.social we got CI working and updated all the databases. #bioconda #conda #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics

What was antibiotic resistance like before we ever used antibiotics? How did we change what antibiotic resistance genes looked like over 100 years?

Our paper looking at resistance genes from a century of NCTC historical isolates now out in mGen:

Genomic resistance in historical clinical isolates increased in frequency and mobility after the age of antibiotics
Antibiotic resistance is frequently observed shortly after the clinical introduction of an antibiotic. Whether and how frequently that resistance occurred before the introduction is harder to determin...

New preprint where we analysed IS loads in 🦠 #Klebsiella pneumoniae lineages and found they're inversely associated with nutrient usage. We propose an insertional tolerance model, whereby IS can only insert into metabolically-tolerable sites.
