The EUCAST subcommittee on the role of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was first established in 2015. The chair was Neil Woodford and co-chairs were Matthew Ellington and Oskar Ekelund.
Findings and the conclusions of the first subcommittee, published in 2017, can be found here.
EUCAST has now re-established the subcommittee.
The subcommittee was re-established in 2023/24 under the leadership of Antonio Oliver and co-chair Örjan Samuelsen, with Scientific Secretary Carla Lopez-Causape. The subcommittee is tasked with updating the EUCAST document and opinion on the role of WGS in AST.
