Journal ArticleDOI
Employing whole genome mapping for optimal de novo assembly of bacterial genomes.
Basil Britto Xavier,Julia Sabirova,Moons Pieter,Jean-Pierre Hernalsteens,Henri De Greve,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +6 more
TL;DR: The utility of whole genome mapping (WGM) is demonstrated as a tool to identify mis-assemblies and to guide k-mer selection and higher quality de novo genome assembly of bacterial genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymes Catalyzing the TCA- and Urea Cycle Influence the Matrix Composition of Biofilms Formed by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300
Sarah De Backer,Julia Sabirova,Ines De Pauw,Henri De Greve,Jean-Pierre Hernalsteens,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +6 more
TL;DR: The biofilm matrix of MRSA-USA300 and the corresponding Tn mutants is PIA/PNAG-independent and are mainly composed of proteins and eDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Genome Sequences of Two Prolific Biofilm-Forming Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Belonging to USA300 and EMRSA-15 Clonal Lineages
Julia Sabirova,Basil Britto Xavier,Jean-Pierre Hernalsteens,H. De Greve,Margareta Ieven,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +6 more
TL;DR: The genomes of two prolific biofilm-forming strains belonging to the two most important globally disseminated clonal lineages, USA300 and EMRSA-15, are sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome typing and characterization of blaVIM19-harbouring ST383 Klebsiella pneumoniae by PFGE, whole-genome mapping and WGS
Julia Sabirova,Basil Britto Xavier,Jasmine Coppens,Olympia Zarkotou,Christine Lammens,Lore Janssens,Ronald Burggrave,Trevor Wagner,Herman Goossens,Surbhi Malhotra-Kumar +9 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the application of WGM to understanding the epidemiology of hospital-associated K. pneumoniae and presents the first longitudinal genomic characterization of the highly dynamic carbapenem-resistant ST383 K.neumoniae clone that is rapidly gaining importance in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome mapping as a fast-track tool to assess genomic stability of sequenced Staphylococcus aureus strains
TL;DR: Frequent subculturing and inter-laboratory transfers can induce genomic and therefore, phenotypic changes that could compromise the utility of standard reference strains, and WGM can thus be used as a rapid genome screening method to identify genomic rearrangements whose size and type can be confirmed by sequencing.
