Genome assemblies were uploaded to Pathogenwatch v2.3.1 [46 (link)] where Kleborate v2.2 [47 (link)] and Kaptive v2.0 [17 (link)] were automatically deployed to call multi-locus sequence types (STs) using the seven-locus scheme [65 (link)], capsular polysaccharide (K) and lipopolysaccharide O locus types, and serotype predictions, acquired virulence traits including the siderophores aerobactin (iuc), yersiniabactin (ybt) and salmochelin (iro), the genotoxin colibactin (clb) and the hypermucoidy locus (rmpADC). Pathogenwatch also deploys Kleborate to identify established AMR determinants (acquired genes and chromosomal mutations) [47 (link)] for the following antimicrobial classes: aminoglycosides, carbapenems, third-generation cephalosporins, third-generation cephalosporins plus β-lactamase inhibitors, colistin, fluoroquinolones, fosfomycin, penicillins, penicillins + β-lactamase inhibitors, phenicols, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, tigecycline and trimethoprim.
