Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of USA300, an epidemic clone of community-acquired meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Binh An Diep,Binh An Diep,Steven R. Gill,Richard F. Chang,Richard F. Chang,Tiffany HaiVan Phan,Jason H. Chen,Matthew G. Davidson,Felice Lin,Jessica Lin,Heather A. Carleton,Emmanuel F. Mongodin,George F. Sensabaugh,Francoise Perdreau-Remington +13 more
TL;DR: The most striking feature of the USA300 genome is the horizontal acquisition of a novel mobile genetic element that encodes an arginine deiminase pathway and an oligopeptide permease system that could contribute to growth and survival of USA300.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome-based population biology and epidemiological surveillance of Listeria monocytogenes

Rocha,Celine Nadon,Kathie Grant,Eva Møller Nielsen,Bruno Pot,Peter Gerner-Smidt,Marc Lecuit,Sylvain Brisse +31 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates the urgent need to monitor Lm strains at the global level and provides the unified approach needed for global harmonization of Lm genome-based typing and population biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant, Community-Associated, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clone USA300 in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Binh An Diep,Henry F. Chambers,Christopher J. Graber,John D. Szumowski,Loren G. Miller,Linda L. Han,Jason H. Chen,Felice Lin,Jessica Lin,Tiffany HaiVan Phan,Heather A. Carleton,Linda K. McDougal,Fred C. Tenover,Daniel E. Cohen,Kenneth H. Mayer,George F. Sensabaugh,Francoise Perdreau-Remington +16 more
TL;DR: The authors demonstrate that the incidence of multidrug-resistant USA300 MRSA is highest in the areas of San Francisco where more male same-sex couples reside, and factors associated with its spread in this high-risk population are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of 34 Virulence Genes in the Evolution of Hospital- and Community-Associated Strains of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Binh An Diep,Heather A. Carleton,Richard F. Chang,George F. Sensabaugh,Francoise Perdreau-Remington +4 more
TL;DR: The horizontal transfer of virulence genes, although infrequent, is epidemiologically associated with the emergence of new virulent strains of MRSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next-generation sequencing technologies and their application to the study and control of bacterial infections.
TL;DR: The future directions of the next-generation sequencing integrating it with laboratory management and public health surveillance systems, and moving it towards performing sequencing directly from the clinical specimen (metagenomics), could lead to yet another fundamental transformation of clinical diagnostics andpublic health surveillance.
