Whole genome sequencing provides an added value to the investigation of staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks Ghent University
Validation strategy of a bioinformatics whole genome sequencing workflow for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli using a reference collection extensively characterized with conventional methods Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables complete characterization of bacterial pathogenic isolates at single nucleotide resolution, making it the ultimate tool for routine surveillance and outbreak investigation. The lack of standardization, and the variation regarding bioinformatics workflows and parameters, however, complicates interoperability among (inter)national laboratories. We present a validation strategy applied to a bioinformatics ...
Genotypic resistance determined by whole genome sequencing versus phenotypic resistance in 234 Escherichia coli isolates Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables detailed characterization of bacteria at single nucleotide resolution. It provides data about acquired resistance genes and mutations leading to resistance. Although WGS is becoming an essential tool to predict resistance patterns accurately, comparing genotype to phenotype with WGS is still in its infancy. Additional data and validation are needed. In this retrospective study, we analysed 234 E. coli ...
