Validation and implementation of whole-genome sequencing-based analytical methods for molecular surveillance and relatedness analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates... by Diana Espadinha, Emma Roycroft, Peter R. Flanagan, Simone Mok, Eleanor McNamara, Thomas R. Rogers, Margaret M. Fitzgibbon

“…Although wgSNP analysis (MTBseq) was the most discriminatory method (p < 0,001), we recommend cgMLST (SeqSphere+), as the first-line approach for molecular typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in the context of routine surveillance work due to its ease of use and decreased turnaround time, while reserving wgSNP-analysis for a more in-depth cluster analysis of new isolates that show a distance of ≤12 alleles to any other isolate(s) in the cgMLST database.…”
