ClermonTyping Report disagreement

[quocviet0908]

Hi there,

I'm doing my research on a population of E. coli and I found some isolates have no matching between mash_group and phyogroup.

Interestingly, based on the phylo-tree most of these isolates follow mash_group instead of phylogroup. But some isolates typed as G (phylogroup) / F (mash_group) follow phylogroup. These isolates were identified as ST117 and they should be classified as phylogroup G as described in the current article by Clermon et al.

Because of these disagreements I have to manually curate the results by using the phylo-tree. I wonder if there are some hidden issues with phylogroup or mash_group or it's just the problems come from my data.

Thanks.
