Abstract excerpt
When using next-generation whole genome sequencing (WGS), extraction of spa types from WGS data is essential for backwards compatibility with Sanger sequencing-based spa typing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We evaluated WGS-based spa typing with a 2×250 bp protocol in a diverse collection of 423 MRSA isolates using two pipelines that executed sequence quality-trimming and de novo assembly...
