Interpretative Labor and the Bane of Nonstandardized Metadata in Public Health Surveillance and Food Safety.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the problem posed by variable and incomplete metadata in terms of interpretative labor costs (the time and energy necessary to make sense of the signal in the genetic data), and the impact such metadata has on foodborne outbreak detection and response.

TL;DR: This data release publishes the reference genomes and raw data submissions for the 2017 and 2018 proficiency test exercises of the US PulseNet and GenomeTrakr laboratory networks.
Genomic investigation of antimicrobial resistance determinants and virulence factors in Salmonella enterica serovars isolated from contaminated food and human stool samples in Brazil.
Adma Nadja Ferreira de Melo,Daniel F Monte,Geany Targino de Souza Pedrosa,Maria Balkey,Qing Jin,Eric W. Brown,Marc W. Allard,Tereza Cristina Rocha Moreira de Oliveira,Guojie Cao,Marciane Magnani,Dumitru Macarisin +10 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis showed that some serovars circulated in Brazil for decades, primarily within the poultry production chain, and highlighted the virulence and AMR determinants in strains that may lead to recurring food outbreaks.
