Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In this study, we evaluated the performance of FT-IR spectroscopy for clonality assessment of Serratia marcescens by comparing its clustering output to that of whole-genome sequencing (WGS), using core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (cgSNP) analysis as reference. METHODS: A genetically diverse set of Serratia marcescens clinical isolates was collected from different hospitals in Belgium and...
