Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Shigella from Malawi Identifies Fluoroquinolone Resistance

Increasing antimicrobial resistance and limited alternative treatments led to fluoroquinolone resistant Shigella strain inclusion on the WHO global priority pathogens list. In this study we characterised multiple Shigella isolates from Malawi with whole genome sequence analysis, identifying the acquirable fluoroquinolone resistance determinant qnrS1.

Genomic investigation of a suspected multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae outbreak in a neonatal care unit in sub-Saharan Africa

A suspected outbreak of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Malawian neonatal unit was investigated using whole-genome sequencing. Strain-types, virulence and resistance genes of K. pneumoniae isolated from patients from the hospital over a four-year period were identified. A MDR ST340 clone was implicated as the likely outbreak cause.
