This review provides a state-of-the-art description of the performance of Sanger cycle
sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for routine identification of bacteria in the clinical …

Whole-genome sequencing has opened the way for investigating the dynamics and
genomic evolution of bacterial pathogens during the colonization and infection of humans …

The PubMLST. org website hosts a collection of open-access, curated databases that
integrate population sequence data with provenance and phenotype information for over …

Rapid molecular typing of bacterial pathogens is critical for public health epidemiology,
surveillance and infection control, yet routine use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for …

We present a hierarchical genome-assembly process (HGAP) for high-quality de novo
microbial genome assemblies using only a single, long-insert shotgun DNA library in …

Genomic information has already been applied to prokaryotic species definition and
classification. However, the contribution of the genome sequence to prokaryotic genus …

Here, we review what is known about the microorganisms present in raw milk, including milk
from cows, sheep, goats and humans. Milk, due to its high nutritional content, can support a …

Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was proposed in 1998 as a portable sequence-based
method for identifying clonal relationships among bacteria. Today, in the whole-genome era …

In this work, we prepared quaternized carbon dots (CDs) with simultaneous antibacterial
and bacterial differentiation capabilities using a simple carboxyl–amine reaction between …

Plants have incredible developmental plasticity, enabling them to respond to a wide range of
environmental conditions. Among these conditions is the presence of plant growth …
