Distributed genotyping and clustering of Neisseria strains reveal continual emergence of epidemic meningococcus over a century

Abstract Core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) is commonly used to classify bacterial strains into different types, for taxonomical and epidemiological applications. However, cgMLST schemes require central databases for the nomenclature of new alleles and sequence types, which must be sync...
