Comparison of genomic diversity between single and pooled Staphylococcus aureus colonies isolated from human colonization cultures

Abstract excerpt

skin and soft-tissue infection (SSTI). We compared parameters such as sequence quality, contamination, allele frequency, nucleotide diversity and pangenome diversity in each pool to those for the corresponding singles. Comparing singles from the same culture plate, we found that 18% of sample collections contained mixtures of multiple multilocus sequence types (MLSTs or STs). We showed that pool-seq data alone...
