Evaluation of whole and core genome multilocus sequence typing allele schemes for Salmonella enterica outbreak detection in a national surveillance network, PulseNet USA

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of bacterial foodborne and zoonotic illnesses in the United States. For this study, we applied four different whole genome sequencing (WGS)-based subtyping methods: high quality single-nucleotide polymorphism (hqSNP)

Genomic comparison of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC398 isolates from livestock, meat and humans in the Netherlands [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Since 2003, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398 (MRSA- CC398) emerged in livestock. To assess possible transfer of resistant strains, animal-related MRSA- CC398 were characterized and compared to those from humans.

Validation of Core and Whole-Genome Multi-Locus Sequence Typing Schemes for Shiga-Toxin-Producing E. coli (STEC) Outbreak Detection in a National Surveillance Network, PulseNet 2.0, USA [PDF]

Microorganisms
Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is a leading causing of bacterial foodborne and zoonotic illnesses in the USA. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool used in public health and microbiology for the detection, surveillance, and outbreak ...

Control of a hospital outbreak with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus argenteus in The Netherlands, June–September 2023 [PDF]

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Background Staphylococcus argenteus belongs to the Staphylococcus aureus complex and causes similar disease. Methicillin-resistant S. argenteus (MRSArg) is rare in the Netherlands. We describe the first hospital outbreak and its management. Methods After

High-Resolution Genomic Profiling of Campylobacter jejuni Across Human, Livestock, and Yellow-Legged Gull Reservoirs in Croatia Reveals Lineage Segregation and Shared Environmental Genotypes [PDF]

Microorganisms
Campylobacter jejuni remains a leading cause of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide, yet the epidemiological role of wild birds as reservoirs remains poorly understood.

Longitudinal surveillance and transmission of Acinetobacter baumannii using whole genome sequencing—a tale of two hospitals [PDF]

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Objective: Acinetobacter baumannii is known to cause global outbreaks and routine surveillance to prevent nosocomial transmission has historically been limited.

Genomic surveillance of multidrug-resistant organisms based on long-read sequencing [PDF]

Genome Medicine
Background Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. The ability to identify antimicrobial resistance determinants, to assess changes in molecular types, and to detect transmission are essential for ...

Comparative genomic surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in the Netherlands in 2015–2017 and 2022–2024 [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
We investigated the genomic epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) during two surveillance periods: 2015–2017 (pilot 1) and 2022–2024 (pilot 2) in an international context to identify potential circulating high-risk lineages ...
