See our current work explained by @goyoiraola during an interview for the @sangerinstitute blog! "...whatever environment we study, we are well aware that what we know about already is just a small percentage of the diversity that actually exists..." sangerinstitute.blog/2021/06โ€ฆ

Our results evidence the need of urgent global actions to tackle the problem of #AMR dissemination from a #OneHealth perspective. Emphasis should be put on the role of urban human populations as a reservoir and vehicle for #AMR emergence and spread through wastewater systems!

Finally, the deployment of longer term sewage DNA surveillance represents a promising tool to improve our understanding of pathogen dynamics and other microbiome-related diseases, providing useful information for infection control, public health policies, and urban design๐Ÿ’ช

Bakta is a worthy successor to Prokka, which has been neglected in recent years. Bakta is being actively developed with new features that Prokka never had, so I encourage Prokka users to try it out!
