TL;DR: Newer and older, phenotypic and genotypic methods for typing of all clinically relevant bacterial species are described according to their principles, advantages and disadvantages and Criteria for their evaluation and application and the interpretation of their results are proposed.

TL;DR: It is concluded that pelagic sharks have limited spatial refuge from current levels of fishing effort in marine areas beyond national jurisdictions (the high seas), demonstrating an urgent need for conservation and management measures at high-seas hotspots of shark space use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a tool to inform national surveillance of Escherichia coli O157 (STEC O157) in terms of identifying linked cases and clusters and guiding epidemiological investigation.

TL;DR: The STROME-ID statement focuses on issues relating to the reporting of epidemiological studies of infectious diseases using molecular data that were not addressed by STROBE and addresses terminology, measures of genetic diversity within pathogen populations, laboratory methods, sample collection, and use of molecular markers.

TL;DR: The complete capsid gene sequence of 20 Norwalk-like viruses collected predominantly from outbreaks in the UK between 1989 and 1996 was determined, with sequence divergence between strains was greatest within the central variable region.
