Large-insert genome analysis (LIGAN) is a broadly applicable, high-throughput technology
designed to characterize genome-scale structural variation. Fosmid paired-end sequences …

The principle of monoclonality with regard to bacterial infections was considered immutable
prior to 30 years ago. This view, espoused by Koch for acute infections, has proven …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the Priority Level I critical pathogens that are least
sensitive to antibiotics and can cause fatal hospital-acquired infections. This bacterium is …

While extracellular DNA (eDNA) is recognized as a critical biofilm matrix component, it is not
understood how it contributes to biofilm function. Here we isolate eDNA from Pseudomonas …

This study aimed to determine the P. aeruginosa that causes contamination to operation hall
