Journal ArticleDOI
Strain features and distributions in pneumococci from children with invasive disease before and after 13-valent conjugate vaccine implementation in the USA.
Benjamin J. Metcalf,Robert E. Gertz,Rebecca A. Gladstone,Rebecca A. Gladstone,Hollis Walker,Logan K. Sherwood,Delois Jackson,Zhongya Li,Caitlin Law,Paulina A. Hawkins,Sopio Chochua,Mili Sheth,Nabin Rayamajhi,Stephen D. Bentley,Stephen D. Bentley,Lindsay Kim,Cynthia G. Whitney,Lesley McGee,Bernard Beall +18 more
TL;DR: The results serve as a reference describing key features of current paediatric IPD strains in the USA after PCV13 implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Penicillin-Binding Protein Transpeptidase Signatures for Tracking and Predicting β-Lactam Resistance Levels in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Yuan Li,Benjamin J. Metcalf,Sopio Chochua,Zhongya Li,Robert E. Gertz,Hollis Walker,Paulina A. Hawkins,Theresa Tran,Cynthia G. Whitney,Lesley McGee,Bernard Beall +10 more
TL;DR: The PBP transpeptidase signatures are robust indicators of MICs to different β-lactam antibiotics in clinical pneumococcal isolates and serve as an accurate alternative to phenotypic susceptibility testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using whole genome sequencing to identify resistance determinants and predict antimicrobial resistance phenotypes for year 2015 invasive pneumococcal disease isolates recovered in the United States
Ben J. Metcalf,Sopio Chochua,Robert E. Gertz,Zhongya Li,Hollis Walker,T. Tran,Paulina A. Hawkins,Anita Glennen,Ruth Lynfield,Y. Li,Lesley McGee,Bernard Beall,Art Reingold,S. Brooks,H.

McGlone,Gayle Fischer Langley +61 more
TL;DR: WGS-based antimicrobial phenotype prediction was an informative alternative to BDT for invasive pneumococci and correctly predicted penicillin-binding protein types and common resistance determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schrag,Gayle Fischer Langley +65 more
TL;DR: The WGS-based assignment of iGBS resistance features and serotypes is an accurate substitute for phenotypic testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population and Whole Genome Sequence Based Characterization of Invasive Group A Streptococci Recovered in the United States during 2015.
Sopio Chochua,Ben J. Metcalf,Zhongya Li,Joy Rivers,Saundra Mathis,Delois Jackson,Robert E. Gertz,Velusamy Srinivasan,Ruth Lynfield,Chris A. Van Beneden,Lesley McGee,Bernard Beall +11 more
TL;DR: St strain traits informative for GAS disease incidence tracking, outbreak detection, vaccine strategy, and antimicrobial therapy are revealed and Streptococcus pyogenes is phylogenetically subdivided into loosely defined multilocus sequence type-based clusters.
