Cátia Vaz,Cátia Vaz,Alexandre P. Francisco,Alexandre P. Francisco,Mickael Silva,Keith A. Jolley,James E. Bray,Hannes Pouseele,Joerg Rothganger,Mário Ramirez,João A. Carriço +10 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an ontology designed for the sequence-based microbial typing field, capable of describing any of thesequence-based typing methodologies currently in use and being developed, including novel NGS based methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Adults in Portugal: The Importance of Serotypes 8 and 3 (2015-2018).
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized 2172 cases of adult IPD in 2015-2018 in Portugal after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in the national immunization plan of 2015.
Book ChapterDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae
TL;DR: The etiological diagnosis of infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae has been expanded by non-culture methods, including the detection of pneumococcal DNA in biological samples and the identification of C polysaccharide in urine.

chewBBACA: A complete suite for gene-by-gene schema creation and strain identification
Mickael Silva,Miguel P. Machado,Mirko Rossi,Jacob Moran-Gilad,Sérgio A. A. Santos,Mário Ramirez,João A. Carriço +6 more
TL;DR: The chewBBACA software offers a computational solution for the creation, evaluation and use of whole genome (wg) and core genome (cg) multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemas and allows researchers to develop wg/cgMLST schemes for any bacterial species from a set of genomes of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal control and analysis of two-color genomotyping experiments using bacterial multistrain arrays.
TL;DR: A comparative study of the two control sample options with a Streptococcus pneumoniae microarray designed with three fully sequenced strains shows that for both types of control it is advantageous to analyze spots in separate sets according to their expected control channel signal.
