Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is being applied increasingly to Bacillus cereus group species; however, misinterpretation of WGS results may have severe consequences. We report 3 cases, 1 of which was an outbreak, in which misinterpretation of B. cereus group WGS results hindered communication within public health and industrial laboratories.

2018-2022 年蜡样芽孢杆菌群物种的分类变化导致的实验室误认

全基因组测序 (WGS) 越来越多地应用于蜡状芽孢杆菌群物种；然而，对 WGS 结果的误解可能会产生严重的后果。我们报告了 3 例病例，其中 1 例是一次暴发，其中对蜡状芽孢杆菌组 WGS 结果的误解阻碍了公共卫生和工业实验室内的交流。
