Nanopore adaptive sampling for bacterial identification from periprosthetic joint replacement tissue
Metagenomic approaches to the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections promise more accurate and more rapid diagnosis. However, the high host DNA to bacterial DNA ratio is a challenge. Nanopore adapti...

These subpopulations also reveal whether resistance arose before or after infection. Our findings show why even small resistant groups matter—and how choosing the wrong antibiotic can help them take over. 💥

In our study, we investigated how often such resistant minority populations occur in clinical TB samples, focusing on rifampicin (RIF). Including these minorities in resistance profiles significantly improved detection sensitivity. 🧪🔍

Resistance testing often yields a single profile per infection. If most bacteria appear susceptible, the antibiotic is used. But this approach fails when a minority, even as little as 5%, are resistant. Those few can survive treatment and take over the infection. ⚔️
