Validating Solu’s cgMLST Implementation

A reproducibility and concordance study validating Solu's cgMLST implementation across seven schemes and eleven bacterial species, showing it recovers epidemiologically verified clusters from published outbreaks and agrees closely with Solu's independent SNP phylogeny.

From Stitched Tools to Single Platform: An Aston University Case Study

Whole genome sequencing has become standard in microbiology, but bioinformatics expertise has not. Dr Doug Browning at Aston University is one of the researchers working in that gap, and one of Solu's most active users.

What quality control reveals about your surveillance results

Real-time genomic surveillance prevented 62 infections and saved $695,000 at a single hospital in two years, but those results depend on trustworthy data. Learn how Solu integrates quality control directly into the surveillance pipeline, turning QC flags into actionable next steps in minutes.

Your surveillance pipeline has a memory problem

Hospitals run genomic surveillance, but the useful information that lives in someone's email or a spreadsheet gets forgotten. We built cluster notes so you can write that context straight into your analyzed data, where everyone on the team can actually find it.

The Plasmid Blind Spot: Latest findings on missed horizontal spread

New research showed that 60% of carbapenemase spread happened through plasmids. Yet standard pipelines still fail to scan for horizontal spread. Expect to learn why plasmid-aware surveillance is now more essential than ever for effective genomic surveillance.

Why horizontal spread is overlooked in genomic surveillance and outbreak detection

Horizontal gene transfer accelerates the emergence of drug-resistant infections and reshapes outbreak management. Resistant infections lead to longer hospital stays, higher readmission rates, and rising healthcare costs. Expect to learn more about horizontal spread and how Solu accounts for it in genomic surveillance to prevent epidemics.
