Therefore, it is essential to develop novel methods that can do real-time ... -
Hybrid Assembly Provides Improved Resolution of Plasmids, Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, and Virulence Factors in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates
Khezri, Abdolrahman; Avershina, Ekaterina; Ahmad, Rafi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Emerging new sequencing technologies have provided researchers with a unique opportunity to study factors related to microbial pathogenicity, such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and virulence factors. However, the ... -
Plasmid Identification and Plasmid-Mediated Antimicrobial Gene Detection in Norwegian Isolates
Khezri, Abdolrahman; Avershina, Ekaterina; Ahmad, Rafi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Norway is known for being one of the countries with the lowest levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR, through acquired genes located on transposons or conjugative plasmids, is the horizontal transmission of genes ... -
