Abstract:

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 workflow for Illumina data that performs complete characterization of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates including antimicr…
