The genetic prediction of phenotypic antibiotic resistance based on analysis of WGS data is becoming increasingly feasible, but a major barrier to its introduction into routine use is the lack of fully automated interpretation tools. Here, we report the findings of a large evaluation of the Next Gen Diagnostics (NGD) automated bioinformatics analysis tool to predict the phenotypic resistance of MRSA.
