Whole-Genome Sequencing Detection of Ongoing Listeria Contamination at a Restaurant, Rhode Island, USA, 2014
نویسندگان
چکیده
In November 2014, the Rhode Island Department of Health investigated a cluster of 3 listeriosis cases. Using whole-genome sequencing to support epidemiologic, laboratory, and environmental investigations, the department identified 1 restaurant as the likely source of the outbreak and also linked the establishment to a listeriosis case that occurred in 2013.

Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is an ubiquitous bacterium that causes a severe foodborne illness. It is established that the contamination of food production facilities over long time period, are potentially one of the major food product contamination sources. L. monocytogenes persistence was observed in almost all food sectors and particularly in pork production facilities. The char...
متن کاملSynthesis and Evaluation of Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate Derivatives as Src Kinase Inhibitors
In this work, different ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their Src Kinase inhibitory activity. For this purpose, the appropriate substituted acetophenone derivatives reacted with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium ethoxide in dried ethanol to give the corresponding products. All compounds showed moderate activities comparing with staurosporine a...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Strain HPB2088 (Serotype 1/2a), an Environmental Isolate Collected in Canada in 1994
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes severe illness. Thus, ongoing efforts at real-time whole-genome sequencing are of utmost importance. However, it is also important that retrospective analyses that place these data into context be performed. Here, we present the genome sequence of strain HPB2088, which was collected in 1994.

The wide availability of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and an abundance of open-source software have made detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in bacterial genomes an increasingly accessible and effective tool for comparative analyses. Thus, ensuring that real nucleotide differences between genomes (i.e., true SNPs) are detected at high rates and that the influences of errors (su...

UNLABELLED Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have enabled us to sequence large number of cancer samples to reveal novel insights into oncogenetic mechanisms. However, the presence of intratumoral heterogeneity, normal cell contamination and insufficient sequencing depth, together pose a challenge for detecting somatic mutations. Here we propose a fast and an accurate so...
