Abstract
Genome-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.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Microbiology serves as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary forum for discussing various aspects of microbiology, spanning cell biology, immunology, genetics, evolution, virology, bacteriology, protozoology, and mycology. In the rapidly evolving field of microbiology, technological advancements, especially in genome sequencing, impact prokaryote biology from pathogens to extremophiles, influencing developments in drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzyme research.
