spa Typing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing: the Impact of the Assembler

spa Typing of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing: the Impact of the Assembler

ABSTRACT Sequencing of the spa gene of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is used for assigning spa types to e.g., detect transmission and control outbreaks. Traditionally, spa typing is performed by Sanger sequencing but has in recent years been replaced by whole-genome sequencing (...
