This multiagency report developed by the Interagency Collaboration for Genomics for Food
and Feed Safety provides an overview of the use of and transition to whole genome …

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of foodborne pathogens has become an effective
method for investigating the information contained in the genome sequence of bacterial …

The routine use of genomics for disease surveillance provides the opportunity for high-
resolution bacterial epidemiology. Current whole-genome clustering and multilocus typing …

We present the LiSEQ (Listeria SEQuencing) project, funded by the European Food Safety
Agency (EFSA) to compare Listeria monocytogenes isolates collected in the European …

To investigate the diversity, distribution, persistence, and prevalence of stress survival and
resistance genes of Listeria monocytogenes clones dominating in food processing …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) will soon replace traditional phenotypic methods for
routine testing of foodborne antimicrobial resistance (AMR). WGS is expected to improve …

In this work we compared the most frequently used Klebsiella pneumoniae typing methods:
PFGE, cgMLST and coreSNP. We evaluated the discriminatory power of the three methods …

Listeria monocytogenes is a major human foodborne pathogen that is prevalent in the
natural environment and has a high case fatality rate. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) …

Genomic bacterial strain typing has facilitated a paradigm shift in clinical and molecular
epidemiology. The increased resolution that these new techniques provide, along with …

Among enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis occurs ubiquitously, with the highest incidence of
human and animal infections. The high genetic plasticity of E. faecalis complicates both …
