Our Nature Communications paper on Mycobacterium abscessus population structure and transmission employing high-resolution core genome multilocus sequence typing has been voted Paper of the Month by #dghm . Congrats to Dr. ir. Margo Diricks 🇧🇪🇩🇪, the entire team and Mukoviszidose e.V.! dghm.org/aktuelles/pape…

Ready for #DGHM 2022 @ Berlin!
Interested in WGS-based typing of non-tuberculous mycobacteria? Check out my talk tomorrow (06.09) at 15:15 (WS11) in hörsaal A #cgMLST #Mabscessus #NTM #ntmnet #FZborstel

Very happy that our M. abscessus cgMLST paper made it into nature communications!
The cgMLST scheme is available in SeqSphere+ and BIGSdb and can be used for transmission/outbreak analysis and classification into known DCCs.
