Validation strategy of a bioinformatics whole genome sequencing workflow for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli using a reference collection extensively characterized with conventional methods
Kathleen Marchal; Nancy Roosens; Sigrid C.J. De Keersmaecker; Kevin Vanneste Source: Microbial Genomics, Volume 7, Issue 3 (2021) Abstract: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables complete characterization of ...
Deep amplicon sequencing for culture-free prediction of susceptibility or resistance to 13 anti-tuberculous drugs.
J (2020) Abstract: Conventional molecular tests for detecting complex (MTBC) drug resistance on clinical samples cover a limited set of mutations. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) typically requires culture. ...
Strain-Level Metagenomic Data Analysis of Enriched In Vitro and In Silico Spiked Food Samples: Paving the Way towards a Culture-Free Foodborne Outbreak Investigation Using STEC as a Case Study.
demonstrating a data analysis approach for detailed characterization and phylogenetic placement of multiple bacterial strains of one species from shotgun metagenomic WGS data of an enriched food sample. Health ...
A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine.
chain reactions (qPCRs) are used in routine. In recent years, the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial isolates has proven its value to collect relevant information for strain ...
The Benefits of Whole Genome Sequencing for Foodborne Outbreak Investigation from the Perspective of a National Reference Laboratory in a Smaller Country.

Use of a Whole Genome Sequencing-based approach for Mycobacterium tuberculosis surveillance in Europe in 2017-2019: an ECDC pilot study.
Dick van Soolingen; Marieke J van der Werf; Daniela Maria Cirillo; ECDC molecular surveillance project participants Source: Eur Respir J (2020) Abstract: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can be used for ...
Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.
Sequencing (WGS) (n=4) methods were used to characterize samples/strains during 2009-2019. Three MLVA clusters (A, B, C) subdivided in 23 subclusters (A1- A12, B1- B8, C1- C3) and 3 SNP types (SNP1, SNP2, ...
Impact of DNA extraction on whole genome sequencing analysis for characterization and relatedness of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates
C.J. De Keersmaecker Source: Scientific Reports, Volume 10, Issue 1 (2020) Keywords: DNA extraction kits outbreak investigation Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) Whole genome sequencing (WGS ...
Combining short and long read sequencing to characterize antimicrobial resistance genes on plasmids applied to an unauthorized genetically modified Bacillus
a major public health threat. Plasmids are able to transfer AMR genes among bacterial isolates. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool to monitor AMR determinants. However, plasmids are difficult ...
