High-depth whole genome sequencing of blood culture plates reveals evolutionary dynamics in cases of persistent bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
2026-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Within a single bacterial strain, DNA sequence variation is expected between individual clones. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can be applied to clinical cultures to detect this polyclonal variation, enabling tracking of within-host evolution and transmission. Culture isolates from infected patients are often sequenced as individual colonies (c-seq). To increase the sensitivity of variant detection, cultures can al...
