Predicting antimicrobial susceptibilities for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates using whole genomic sequence data.

TLDR
The whole genome-based antimicrobial resistance prediction in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was as sensitive and specific as routinely deployed phenotypic methods.
Abstract
sitivityofgenome-basedresistancepredictionacrossallantibioticsforbothspecieswas0.96(95%CI:0.94‐0.98)and the specificity was 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95‐0.98). Very major and major error rates were 1.2% and 2.1%, respectively. Conclusions: Our method was as sensitive and specific as routinely deployed phenotypic methods. Validation against larger datasets and formal assessments of cost and turnaround time in a routine laboratory setting are warranted.

SRST2: Rapid genomic surveillance for public health and hospital microbiology labs

TL;DR: This work presents SRST2, a read mapping-based tool for fast and accurate detection of genes, alleles and multi-locus sequence types (MLST) from WGS data, which is highly accurate and outperforms assembly-based methods in terms of both gene detection and allele assignment.

ClonalFrameML: efficient inference of recombination in whole bacterial genomes.

TL;DR: This work uses maximum likelihood inference to simultaneously detect recombination in bacterial genomes and account for it in phylogenetic reconstruction and finds evidence for recombination hotspots associated with mobile elements in Clostridium difficile ST6 and a previously undescribed 310kb chromosomal replacement in Staphylococcus aureus ST582.

PointFinder: a novel web tool for WGS-based detection of antimicrobial resistance associated with chromosomal point mutations in bacterial pathogens.

TL;DR: PointFinder proved, with high concordance between phenotypic and predicted antimicrobial susceptibility, to be a user-friendly web tool for detection of chromosomal point mutations associated with antimicrobial resistance.

Within-host evolution of bacterial pathogens

TL;DR: How whole-genome sequencing studies have advanced understanding of the mechanisms and principles of within-host genome evolution is described, and the consequences of findings such as a potent adaptive potential for pathogenicity are considered.

Velvet: Algorithms for de novo short read assembly using de Bruijn graphs

TL;DR: Velvet represents a new approach to assembly that can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies and is in close agreement with simulated results without read-pair information.

SeaView Version 4: A Multiplatform Graphical User Interface for Sequence Alignment and Phylogenetic Tree Building

TL;DR: SeaView version 4 combines all the functions of the widely used programs SeaView and Phylo_win, and expands them by adding network access to sequence databases, alignment with arbitrary algorithm, maximum-likelihood tree building with PhyML, and display, printing, and copy-to-clipboard of rooted or unrooted, binary or multifurcating phylogenetic trees.

Identification of acquired antimicrobial resistance genes

TL;DR: A web server providing a convenient way of identifying acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in completely sequenced isolates was created, and the method was evaluated on WGS chromosomes and plasmids of 30 isolates.
