Establishment of a Molecular Serotyping Scheme and a Multiplexed Luminex-Based Array for Enterobacter aerogenes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Serotyping based on surface polysaccharide antigens is important for the clinical detection and epidemiological surveillance of pathogens. Polysaccharide gene clusters (PSgcs) are typically responsible for the diversity of bacterial surface ...

Application of MinION sequencing as a tool for the rapid detection and characterization of Listeria monocytogenes in smoked salmon

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial pathogens may be present in different types of foods, and hence the development of novel methods to assure consumers' safeness is of great interest. Molecular methods are known to provide sensitive and rapid results; however, they are typically

SeroBA: rapid high-throughput serotyping of Streptococcus pneumoniae from whole genome sequence data

bioRxiv, 2017
Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for 240,000 - 460,000 deaths in children under 5 years of age each year. Accurate identification of pneumococcal serotypes is important for tracking the distribution and evolution of serotypes following the ...

Insights into pneumococcal pneumonia using lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia patients in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2020
We investigated the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia using clinical specimens collected for pneumonia surveillance in The Gambia. Lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs from 31 patients were examined by culture, qPCR, whole genome sequencing ...

In silico serotyping of E. coli from short read data identifies limited novel O-loci but extensive diversity of O:H serotype combinations within and between pathogenic lineages

Microbial Genomics, 2016
The lipopolysaccharide (O) and flagellar (H) surface antigens of Escherichia coli are targets for serotyping that have traditionally been used to identify pathogenic lineages. These surface antigens are important for the survival of E.

In Silico Serotyping Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing Improves the Accuracy of Shigella Identification

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Shigella causes diarrheal disease with serious public health implications. However, conventional Shigella identification methods are laborious and time-consuming and can be erroneous due to the high similarity between Shigella and enteroinvasive ...
