Whole Genome Sequencing Provides an Added Value to the Investigation of Staphylococcal Food Poisoning Outbreaks
staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) whole genome sequencing Abstract: Through staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) production, Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of food poisoning. Detection of staphylococcal food ...
Conceptual causal framework to assess the effect of SARS-CoV-2 variants on COVID-19 disease severity among hospitalized patients
their genomes over the course of the pandemic. The severity of a SARS-CoV-2 infection could partly depend on these viral genetic characteristics. Here, we present a general conceptual framework that ...
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 ...
Development of an NGS-Based Workflow for Improved Monitoring of Circulating Plasmids in Support of Risk Assessment of Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Dissemination.
low-copy-carrying plasmid (>200 kb) was used. Hybrid assemblies of NGS data obtained from whole-genome DNA extractions of the original isolates resulted in the most complete reconstruction of plasmids. The optimal ...
Towards a unified classification for human respiratory syncytial virus genotypes.
phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using the complete genome alignments. Patristic distances were calculated between all pairs of tips in the phylogenetic tree and summarized as a density plot in order to ...
