Abstract
•Whole genome mapping (WGM) was used to investigate 32 P. aeruginosa isolates.•Bacterial strains included metallo beta-lactamase outbreak isolates.•Sequence data was also obtained for 12 isolates from GenBank.•WGM analysis revealed 3 genetic clusters.•WGM is an alternative to current bacterial genotyping techniques.
A variety of molecular typing techniques have been developed to investigate the clonal relationship among bacterial isolates, including those associated with nosocomial infections. In this study, the authors evaluated whole-genome mapping as a tool to investigate the genetic relatedness between Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, including metallo beta-lactamase-positive outbreak isolates.
