Multiple sequence recovery: theory and applications
… recovery, attempting to characterize the antibiotic resistome of a metagenomic sample. We begin by proving the statistical consistency of two different estimators for the set of haplotype sequences: the maximum likelihood estimator and a clustering method that minimizes the worst-case bit …

Occurrence and Control of Microbial Contaminants of Emerging Concern through the Urban Water Cycle: Molecular Profiling of Opportunistic Pathogens and Antibiotic Resistance
… of MCECs, opportunistic pathogens (OP) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARG), are studied across several compartments of the urban water cycle, including surface water, stormwater, wastewater, recycled water, and potable water. Collectively, this dissertation advances knowledge about the …

Nasopharyngeal colonization dynamics with Streptococcus pneumoniae and associated antimicrobial resistance in a South African birth cohort
… as well as the composition of the NP antibiotic resistome using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Methods: NP swabs were collected every second week from birth through the first year of life from 137 infants who were immunized with 2+1 doses of PCV13. These were the first 137 infants …

Tracking Antibiotic Resistance throughout Agroecosystems
Widespread use of antibiotics in livestock production can result in the dissemination of bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to the broader environment. Within agroecosystems, ARGs can pose a risk to livestock handlers, farmers, and ultimately consumers. The overall goals of this …

A computational approach to understanding maternal influences on the development of ruminant neonates
… dynamics of the early-life fecal microbiota and antibiotic resistome in neonatal lambs. During our initial study, the ewe-twin lamb model was employed across two lambing seasons (n = 78) to evaluate the impact of maternal colostral cells on neonatal performance and commercially relevant outcomes. …
