A 2025 analysis tracked 516,309 clinical bacterial isolates, revealing declining resistance in some major pathogens but worrying rebounds in others. The study highlights the need for sustained surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, and stronger laboratory capacity to address evolving AMR patterns.
The PathoBase platform provides a comprehensive tool for genomic data analysis, enabling detailed characterization of bacterial strains and their transmission networks. With its integrated tools, researchers can track pathogen evolution and transmission in real-time, supporting outbreak prevention and response.
A study has revealed that the cpb2 gene enhances the persistence of C. perfringens in swine, with potential implications for disease management. The researchers found that cpb2 is associated with host species-specific adaptations, particularly favoring the porcine intestinal environment.
