Direct Whole-Genome Sequencing of Cutaneous Strains of Haemophilus ducreyi. [PDF]
Haemophilus ducreyi, which causes chancroid, has emerged as a cause of pediatric skin disease. Isolation of H. ducreyi in low-income settings is challenging, limiting phylogenetic investigation.

Genomic dissection of the 1994 Cronobacter sakazakii outbreak in a French neonatal intensive care unit [PDF]
Background: Cronobacter sakazakii is a member of the genus Cronobacter that has frequently been isolated from powdered infant formula (PIF) and linked with rare but fatal neonatal infections such as meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis.

Whole Genome Sequencing in Cancer Clinics
Patients with a family history of cancer are being evaluated with single-gene or gene panel tests (LaDuca et al., 2014). The decreasing cost and potential to provide comprehensive genetic risk assessment makes whole genome sequencing (WGS) an attractive tool for understanding the genetic risk for cancer (Collins and Hamburg, 2013).
