Development of a core genome Multilocus Sequence Typing (cgMLST) and Life Identification Number (LIN) code schema for the Burkholderia cepacia complex

Kasia Maria Parfitt, Keith A Jolley, Charlotte Peeters…·Martin C.J. Maiden

The paper develops a core genome MLST (cgMLST) and 14-digit LIN code system for the Burkholderia cepacia complex, implemented in PubMLST for improved typing and outbreak investigation.

Emergence of short-lived meningococci causing focal epidemics can be associated with gene transfer from carriage-associated Neisseria

Charlene M.C. Rodrigues, Jay Lucidarme, Rachel M. Exley…·Christoph M. Tang

A 21-case nightclub-linked meningococcal outbreak variant differed from its closest relatives by horizontal gene transfer from carriage-associated Neisseria, affecting iron acquisition and type IV pili genes.
