1 WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING FOR STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS Claire Gordon MRC clinical research fellow Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford

2 Staphylococcus aureus Remains a major healthcare associated pathogen Persistently carried by 20% of population, intermittently by 30% 1 Cause of outbreaks» approximately 500 putative S. aureus outbreaks referred to Public Health England for investigation per year Multidrug resistance» MRSA» VISA/VRSA 1 Werthhiem et al, 2005 Virulent strains» USA 300» Toxin producing

3 Whole Genome Sequencing Hypothesis: whole genome sequencing (WGS) can give us all the information we need to diagnose, treat and investigate illness due to S. aureus To date we have used WGS to study outbreaks / person to person spread predict antimicrobial resistance look for virulence factors

4 Extract DNA Fragmentation, labelling and cluster generation Assembly and analysis Sequencing by synthesis

5 OUTBREAKS

6 Outbreaks studies: standard tests Find which group the strains belong to MLST spa type phage typing SCCmec typing Pulsed field gel electrophoresis

7 PFGE : gold standard? Kazakova SV et al. N Engl J Med 2005;352:

8 Why use WGS? Single platform Better resolution Turnaround times approaching those of standard techniques May give additional information

9 Calibration

23 RESISTOTYPING

24 Genotype vs phenotype Genotyping WGS de novo assembled contigs Blasted for catalogue of resistance determinants Phenotyping disc diffusion plus automated broth dilution E-test to resolve discrepancies Isolates n=491 bacteraemia and carriage isolates sourced from clinical collections in Oxford / Brighton

25 Overall categorical agreement >99% Total of 11 cryptic genotype / phenotype mismatches Penicillin Deletions / insertions in blaz causing frameshift mutations Rapid identification of novel variants non-synonymous mutations in fusa DNA sequence alignments showing single base blaz deletions in 4 penicillin susceptible isolates

30 Problems low frequency of resistance for some antimicrobials leading to inaccurate estimates of specificity Needs further testing with rare resistance determinants reflects resistance patterns in local population No VISA / daptomycin / linezolid resistance unknown / emerging resistance determinants

45 Turnaround times

46 Conclusions For S. aureus WGS has greater resolution than current standard typing for outbreak investigation WGS data reliably predicted antimicrobial resistance for majority of isolates tested, with overall error rates equivalent to current phenotyping tests Cost / turnaround time for WGS approaching those of standard typing
