A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

The French National Reference Center for diphtheria (officially: the NRC for Corynebacteria of the diphtheriae complex; web pages in French) operates under the mandate of Public Health France (Santé publique France). Its missions are to diagnose and characterize potentially toxigenic strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans and related species. In case of detection of the diphtheria toxin gene, we alert public health authorities, who take action to avoid transmission and outbreaks. We also provide advice to medical microbiology laboratories and clinicians in the human and veterinary sectors (companion animals are often infected by C. ulcerans).

More information dedicated to French medical or veterinary microbiologists and clinicians is available on the official NRC website (see above link).

Genomic taxonomy of bacterial strains: universal nomenclatures for epidemiology and population biology

Sylvain Brisse (PI)

High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized our abilities to track and characterize novel bacterial strains as they emerge and disseminate globally. Genome-based epidemiological typing systems provide ultimate resolution for strain discrimination. Genome sequences may also be […]
