Genetic relatedness of Staphylococcus aureus isolates within food outbreaks by single nucleotide polymorphisms
18 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Investigation of bacterial food outbreaks by whole genome sequencing can rely on the inspection of the genetic relatedness between isolates through the application of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) thresholds. However, there is no consensus for Staphylococcus aureus in the context of food outbreaks. In this study, we propose a SNP cut-off by taking into account the mutation rate and the evolution time of...
