Deskripsi

Lab-based surveillance of Shigella has traditionally been based on serotyping but increasing availability of whole genome sequencing could enable higher resolution typing. Here, the authors apply a core genome multilocus sequence typing scheme to Shigella sequence data and describe its population structure.
