Challenges in establishing epidemiological cut-off values for the Burkholderia cepacia complex

ABSTRACT The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is comprised of 24 species of gram-negative bacteria that cause opportunistic infections. While antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) has historically been used to guide treatment for BCC infections, recent work highlighting pr...

Core genome and whole genome multi-locus sequence typing of Cronobacter isolates

ABSTRACT Cronobacter species, especially C. sakazakii and C. malonaticus, are opportunistic pathogens that are linked to severe infections in infants with high case fatality rates. In this study, we investigated whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis approaches, specifically 7-ge...
