The manuscript titled ‘Core genome MLST and resistome analysis of Klebsiella pneumoniae using a clinically-amenable workflow,’ was authored by a team of researchers at Mayo Clinic and others in the ARLG.
The manuscript showcases the use of core genome multi locus sequence typing (cgMLST) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) data, analyzed by OpGen’s Acuitas Lighthouse Software to predict phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility (AST). The analysis was performed on forty (40), K. pneumoniae bacterial isolates from the ARLG isolate collection. The overall agreement between phenotypic AST and genotypic prediction was 95.6%.
“This research study is another important milestone for OpGen, demonstrating the capabilities of Acuitas Lighthouse using Mayo Clinic’s WGS data to predict phenotypic AST,” said Evan Jones, CEO of OpGen. “Our Acuitas Lighthouse is versatile and has now been shown to have utility with WGS data in addition to PCR test results.”
