Info:
Scientists from Harvard Medical School and other institutions used whole genome sequencing and MALDI/TOF to analyze seven C. striatum infections, all resistant to multiple drugs. They found that three of the pathogens were related, and that complex resistance profiles could be spread by a single recombination event. BluePippin was used for size-selecting libraries prior to PacBio sequencing.
