Transmission Patterns of Clostridioides difficile in a Non-Epidemic Setting Based on WGS Analysis
Microbiology Research, 2022 Clostridioides difficile is a major nosocomial pathogen and has a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Our objective was to determine the transmission patterns of C. difficile in a non-epidemic setting using whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing

Source Attribution of Human Campylobacteriosis Using Whole-Genome Sequencing Data and Network Analysis [PDF]
Pathogens, 2022 Campylobacter spp. are a leading and increasing cause of gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Source attribution, which apportions human infection cases to different animal species and food reservoirs, has been instrumental in control- and evidence ...

Molecular characterization of MRSA collected during national surveillance between 2008 and 2019 in the Netherlands [PDF]
Communications Medicine, 2023 Background. Although the Netherlands is a country with a low endemic level, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) poses a significant health care problem. Therefore, high coverage national MRSA surveillance has been in place since 1989.

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 2, September‐December 2023., 2023 Abstract Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a technique used to determine the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. In the context of bacterial pathogens, such as the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis), WGS offers insights into the nucleotide sequence variations that arise due to mutations during bacterial replication ...

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 691-705, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Karst aquifers provide a significant source of drinking water around the world; however, they are prone to bacterial contamination. We investigated the prevalence, serotypes, and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of Salmonella in urban karst groundwater and groundwater‐fed surface waters.
