Web applications for rapid microbial taxonomy identification

Diagnostics
Infectious diseases are responsible for >25% of
all global deaths
An increasing number of infectious diseases have
a global epidemiology (e.g. SARS, avian flu,
influenza, Salmonella etc.).
Rapid detection, identification and exchange of
comparable information between public health
laboratories globally, are crucial to avoid or
control global and local spread.
5. Bacterial genomics
• Sequencing a bacterial genome cost ~$100 (on
a desk top sequencer)
• Equipment will cost less than $100 000
• In Denmark 1 million clinical microbiology
isolates are handled each year
– EU/USA ~100 million
– Globally ~ 1 billion (10 billion needed)
• Future limiting factor will not be sequencing
but handling the sequences

8. K-mer based method works well for
species identification
Benchmarking of methods for genomic taxonomy. Larsen MV, Cosentino S, Lukjancenko O, Saputra D, Rasmussen S, Hasman
H, Sicheritz-Pontén T, Aarestrup FM, Ussery DW, Lund O. J Clin Microbiol. 2014 May;52(5):1529-39.
11. Genotyping using whole-genome sequencing is a realistic alternative to surveillance based on phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Zankari E, Hasman H, Kaas RS, Seyfarth AM, Agersø Y, Lund O, Larsen MV,
Aarestrup FM. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2013 68:771-7.

12. Pheno typing by machine learning
• Earlier methods are all based on alignment to a
database of genes with known (pheno-) types.
• Andreatta et al. took a radically different approach and
sorted genomes of Gamma-Proteobacteria into
pathogenic or non-pathogenic, and looked for gene
families that were statistically associated with either
pathogenic or non-pathogenic bacteria (Andreatta et
al. 2010).
• First example of using machine learning techniques to
determine the phenotype from WGS.
• Extended to work for all species of bacteria and using
raw sequencing data as input (Cosentino et al. 2013).
20. Outbreak analysis of billions of strains:
Real-time tracking of all microbial genomes
• OX values
• O10
– Number of earlier isolates (from within the last
year) with less than 10 SNP differences to the
current isolate
• Do not need to be updated
• Mapped genomes may be stores as binary files
• Search can/should be restricted to those that cluster to
the same template
21. Evergreen Trees
• User submitted samples
compared against all close-
matching sample clusters
• Ever growing trees from the
clusters
• Users can see all previous
samples their sample is closely
related to

25. Rapid whole genome sequencing for the detection and characterization of microorganisms directly from clinical samples. Hasman H, Saputra D, Sicheritz-Ponten T, Lund O, Svendsen CA, Frimodt-Møller N, Aarestrup
FM. J Clin Microbiol. 2014 Jan;52(1):139-46
26. It is not important to know where you
are but where you are not
• Analysis of absence/presence of specific
strains/species may be more important for
diagnosis of infectious diseases than the
general composition of the microbiome
normally associated with metagenomics
27. Whole genome sequencing
• Is it a game changer in the combat against infectious
diseases
• Game changer? - what is new with WGS?
– Typing with ultimate resolution (bar epigenetics?)
• Resolution = 1/mutation rate = 1 year
– Can (soon) be done in a day
– Instant deep pheno-typing (e. g. resistance/virulence
genes)
– With falling prices surveillance may be ubiquitous
• Everything is under constant surveillance
– People, animals, planes, places, doorhandles …
– Information can be shared instantly around the globe
28. Transmission do not have to be zero
• But R0:
– The number of secondary infections that a case on
the average give rise to
• Have to be below 1
29. Game changer?
• Can WGS + IT be used to set R0 to less than 1
for some pathogens in some areas?
• Which are the best cases?
