NCBI Pathogen Detection Plays Key Role in Identification of a Novel Shiga Toxin Subtype
Using the Pathogen Detection pipeline, we recently found new Shiga toxin 2 (stx2) subtypes in isolates from the United States collected as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) routine disease surveillance. Our pipeline relies on AMRFinderPlus to identify anti-microbial resistance (AMR), stress-resistance, and virulence genes. We screened over 60,000 E. coli … Continue reading NCBI Pathogen Detection Plays Key Role in Identification of a Novel Shiga Toxin Subtype
