Multi-locus sequence ty** (MLST) is a high-resolution genetic ty** approach to identify
species and strains of pathogens impacting human health, agriculture (animals and plants) …

Microbial ty** is often employed to determine the source and routes of infections, confirm
or rule out outbreaks, trace cross-transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens …

Current methods struggle to reconstruct and visualize the genomic relationships of large
numbers of bacterial genomes. GrapeTree facilitates the analyses of large numbers of allelic …

Abstract Summary High Throughput Sequencing provides a cost effective means of
generating high resolution data for hundreds or even thousands of strains, and is rapidly …

Abstract Background Foodborne outbreaks of Salmonella remain a pressing public health
concern. We recently detected a large outbreak of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis …

The lipopolysaccharide (O) and flagellar (H) surface antigens of Escherichia coli are targets
for seroty** that have traditionally been used to identify pathogenic lineages. These …

Most new pathogens of humans and animals arise via switching events from distinct host
species. However, our understanding of the evolutionary and ecological drivers of …

ABSTRACT A curated Web-based user-friendly sequence ty** tool based on antimicrobial
resistance determinants in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was developed and is publicly accessible …

High-throughput sequencing methods generated allele and single nucleotide polymorphism
information for thousands of bacterial strains that are publicly available in online repositories …

The otopathogens colonizing the nasopharynx (NP) and causing acute otitis media (AOM)
have shown dynamic changes following introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines …
