COMBINING GENOME SURVEILLANCE AND METADATA TO CHARACTERIZE THE DIVERSITY OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS CIRCULATING IN AN ITALIAN HOSPITAL OVER A 9-YEAR PERIOD

Combining Genome Surveillance and Metadata To Characterize the Diversity of Staphylococcus aureus Circulating in an Italian Hospital over a 9-Year Period

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Genomic-based surveillance has greatly improved our ability to track the emergence and spread of high-risk clones, but the full potential of genomic data is only reached when used in conjunction with detailed metadata.Here, we demons

Gas Hydrates, Subsurface Structures and Tectonic Features of the Tuaheni Landslide Complex in the Northern Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand, Revealed by Seismic Attribute Analysis

The Tuaheni Landslide Complex, located on the upper slope of the northern Hikurangi Margin in New Zealand, is a unique place to research on slow slip creep-like deformation and seabed failure, as well as their possible relationship with the presence of gas hydrates, cold seeps, and fluid migration.Based on the visual interpretation of seismic data,
