Pursuing Advances in DNA Sequencing Technology to Solve a Complex Genomic Jigsaw Puzzle: The Agglutinin-Like Sequence (ALS) Genes of Candida tropicalis

The agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) gene family encodes cell-surface adhesins that interact with host and abiotic surfaces, promoting colonization by opportunistic fungal pathogens such as Candida tropicalis.Studies of Als protein contribution to C.tropicalis adhesion would benefit from an accurate catalog of Collections ALS gene sequences as well a

AHHME: A model for estimating the holistic cost-effectiveness of antimicrobial resistance interventions in food animal production

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered a global priority for human health, and reducing antimicrobial use in food animals has been suggested as a key area for interventions aiming to reduce resistant infections in humans.In addition to the effect on human health, such interventions may have effects across food animal productivity, healthcare
