Telling the tale of rising seas and Africa’s Heritage Sites
Together with 12 other colleagues from 13 institutions, across 8 countries and with different scientific backgrounds, we just completed an analysis on vulnerability of coastal African Heritage sites to climate change. Here we discuss our experience and the main outcomes of our efforts.
Commensal or pathogen? ColV plasmids in E. coli evolution
E. coli ST58 are supposed to be environmental commensals and yet they are a globally emerging cause of sepsis. What can genomic epidemiology reveal about their rise to prominence?
