          Abstract

          Presented here is the draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain EKM601B, which contains 4,199,360 bp in 73 contigs. This candidate endophyte was isolated from surface-sterilized dry seeds of Luffa acutangula (Chinese okra) and demonstrated diverse plant-beneficial functions and antagonism against soilborne pathogens in vitro.

              Genomic Epidemiology: Whole-Genome-Sequencing-Powered Surveillance and Outbreak Investigation of Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens.

              As we are approaching the twentieth anniversary of PulseNet, a network of public health and regulatory laboratories that has changed the landscape of foodborne illness surveillance through molecular subtyping, public health microbiology is undergoing another transformation brought about by so-called next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies that have made whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of foodborne bacterial pathogens a realistic and superior alternative to traditional subtyping methods. Routine, real-time, and widespread application of WGS in food safety and public health is on the horizon. Technological, operational, and policy challenges are still present and being addressed by an international and multidisciplinary community of researchers, public health practitioners, and other stakeholders.
