Abstract |
A retrospective investigation was performed to evaluate whole genome sequencing as a benchmark for comparing molecular subtyping methods for Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (SE) and survey the population structure of commonly encountered SE outbreak isolates in the United States. A total of 52 SE isolates representing 16 major outbreaks and three sporadic cases between 2001 and 2012 were sequenced and subjected to subtyping by four different methods: 1) whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism typing (WGST), 2) multiple loci VNTR (variable-number tandem repeat) analysis (MLVA), 3) clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats combined with multi-virulence-locus sequence typing (CRISPR-MVLST) and 4) pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). WGST resolved all outbreak clusters and provided useful robust phylogenetic inference with high epidemiological correlation. While both MLVA and CRISPR-MVLST yielded higher discriminatory power than PFGE, MLVA outperformed in delineating outbreak clusters whereas CRISPR-MVLST showed the potential to trace major lineages and ecological origins of SE. Our results suggested that whole genome sequencing makes a viable platform for the evaluation and benchmarking molecular subtyping methods. |
