Journal ArticleDOI

chewBBACA: A complete suite for gene-by-gene schema creation and strain identification.

TL;DR: The chewBBACA suite was designed to assist users in the creation and evaluation of novel whole-genome or core- genome gene-by-gene typing schemas and subsequent allele calling in bacterial strains of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking wastewater risks and monitoring in light of the COVID-19 pandemic

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a risk assessment and management framework tailored to SARS-CoV-2 transmission via wastewater, including new tools for environmental surveillance, ensuring adequate disinfection as a component of overall COVID-19 pandemic containment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practical issues in implementing whole-genome-sequencing in routine diagnostic microbiology

TL;DR: The question of whether WGS can entirely replace routine microbiology in the future and the tension between the fact that most sequencers are designed to process multiple samples in parallel whereas for optimal diagnosis a one-by-one processing of the samples is preferred are speculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental roadmap for antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement presents the barriers that currently prevent the timely development and implementation of novel and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing platforms, including the costs involved, uptake of new tools, legal and regulatory aspects, difficulties conducting clinical trials and quality control, and presents possible solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insidious reintroduction of wild poliovirus into Israel, 2013.

TL;DR: Israel was certified as polio-free country in June 2002, but wild-type polio virus ₁ (WPV₁) was isolated initially from routine sewage samples collected between 7 and 13 April 2013 in two cities in the Southern district, and WPV-specific analysis of samples indicated WPV⁁ introduction into that area in early February 2013.
