Development of the Pneumococcal Genome Library, a core genome multilocus sequence typing scheme, and a taxonomic life identification number barcoding system to investigate and define pneumococcal population structure

Abstract excerpt

Investigating the genomic epidemiology of major bacterial pathogens is integral to understanding transmission, evolution, colonization, disease, antimicrobial resistance and vaccine impact. Furthermore, the recent accumulation of large numbers of whole genome sequences for many bacterial species enhances the development of robust genome-wide typing schemes to define the overall bacterial population structure and...
