Journal ArticleDOI

Transforming clinical microbiology with bacterial genome sequencing

TL;DR: It is predicted that the application of next-generation sequencing will soon be sufficiently fast, accurate and cheap to be used in routine clinical microbiology practice, where it could replace many complex current techniques with a single, more efficient workflow.
Journal ArticleDOI

ClonalFrameML: efficient inference of recombination in whole bacterial genomes.

TL;DR: This work uses maximum likelihood inference to simultaneously detect recombination in bacterial genomes and account for it in phylogenetic reconstruction and finds evidence for recombination hotspots associated with mobile elements in Clostridium difficile ST6 and a previously undescribed 310kb chromosomal replacement in Staphylococcus aureus ST582.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse Sources of C. difficile Infection Identified on Whole-Genome Sequencing

TL;DR: Genetically diverse sources, in addition to symptomatic patients, play a major part in C. difficile transmission, which suggests a considerable reservoir of C. Difficile infection identified in health care settings or in the community in Oxfordshire.
