TL;DR: WGS-based antimicrobial phenotype prediction was an informative alternative to BDT for invasive pneumococci and correctly predicted penicillin-binding protein types and common resistance determinants.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Preliminary results from an analysis in EIP comparing GBS patients hospitalized through March 31, 2010, who did and did not receive 2009 H1N1 vaccination showed an estimated age-adjusted rate ratio of 1.77, similar to that found in seasonal influenza vaccines.

TL;DR: The WGS-based assignment of iGBS resistance features and serotypes is an accurate substitute for phenotypic testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
