Abstract :

A number of listeriosis outbreaks have been reported recently, in which next generation sequencing was used to complement epidemiologic investigations. In this presentation, I discuss multiple whole genome sequencing and core genome sequencing approaches using these outbreaks as case studies. The analyses provide insights to the selection of appropriate approaches to define the scope of an outbreak, to differentiate epidemiologically unrelated isolates, and to study the persistence and microevolution of isolates in a single outbreak
