Abstract excerpt
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using the IR Biotyper and core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) analysis were performed on 12 Legionella isolates associated with an outbreak at a spa house in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and 3 non-outbreak isolates. The discriminative power of FTIR spectroscopy for 48-h incubation conditions of L. pneumophila in this outbreak was lower than cgSNP-based...
