CLSI WGS in AST Webinar
From Reads to Resistance: The Cutting Edge of Whole Genome Sequencing in Epidemiological and Antimicrobial Resistance Investigations
Date: May 31, 2025
This on-demand webinar will explore the use of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in identifying strain relatedness and antimicrobial resistance (AR) in bacterial and fungal pathogens. The latest advancements in WGS methods will be briefly discussed, as will practical applications for clinical diagnostics and epidemiological surveillance. The challenges and opportunities in leveraging WGS data in these settings will be examined. Participants will leave with practical knowledge of how WGS is transforming infectious diseases studies and its potential in clinical practice.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Discuss use of whole genome sequencing in speciation and predicting antimicrobial resistance in clinical practice.
• Describe how public health organizations are using whole genome sequencing for identifying antifungal resistance during outbreak investigations.
• Explain how whole genome sequencing can be used in clinical microbiology laboratories to predict antimicrobial resistance for clinical care.
Intermediate: Refresher course. Some basic knowledge required, for the experienced staff technologist with some years of experience.
CLSI is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E.® Program.
