High-throughput method characterizes hundreds of previously unknown antibiotic resistance mutations by Matthew J. Jago, Jake K. Soley, Stepan Denisov, Calum J. Walsh, Danna R. Gifford, Benjamin P. Howden, Mato Lagator

“…We present a high-throughput technique – Quantitative Mutational Scan sequencing (QMS-seq) – that enables quantitative comparison of which genes are under antibiotic selection and captures how genetic background influences resistance evolution. We compare four E. coli strains exposed to ciprofloxacin, cycloserine, or nitrofurantoin and identify 812 resistance mutations, many in genes and regulatory regions not previously associated with resistance. …”

Complete Genome Sequencing of Polar Arthrobacter sp. PAMC25284, Copper Tolerance Potential Unraveled with Genomic Analysis by Jayram Karmacharya, Prasansah Shrestha, So-Ra Han, Hyun Park, Tae-Jin Oh

“…Using comparative genomics, we showed that PMAC25284 has copper-transporting ATPases, copper chaperone, copper-responsive transcriptional regulator, and multi-copper oxidase domains, which are found in both Gram-positive (like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Enterococcus hirae) and Gram-negative bacteria (like E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The existence of 4 multi-copper oxidase genes, which supplied an additional copper defense mechanism, could be intriguing information regarding Gram-positive bacteria such as Arthrobacter sp. …”
