Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing and Antibiotic Susceptibility Prediction from Whole-Genome Sequence Data of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates [PDF]
Over the past decade, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has overtaken traditional bacterial typing methods for studies of genetic relatedness. Further, WGS data generated during epidemiologic studies can be used in other clinically relevant bioinformatic ...

A Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecalis. [PDF]
Among enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis occurs ubiquitously, with the highest incidence of human and animal infections. The high genetic plasticity of E. faecalis complicates both molecular investigations and phylogenetic analyses.
