The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

BIGSdb: Scalable analysis of bacterial genome variation at the population level (2010, methodology): “…an allele number, allowing the range of analyses developed for MLST, or for other techniques utilizing numerical profiles such as multiple locus VNTR analysis (MLVA) [16], to be directly applied to whole genomes, while still providing full access to the underlying sequence data when required.”
From soil to gut: Bacillus cereus and its food poisoning toxins. (2008, background): “…having separate species status (Carlson et al., 1994; Helgason et al., 2004; Hill et al., 2004; Ko et al., 2004; Priest et al., 2004; Guinebretière et al., in press), while B. anthracis can basically be considered a clone of B. cereus (Keim et al., 2000; Hill et al., 2004; Muzzi et al., 2007).”
Automated High-Throughput Genotyping for Study of Global Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units (2001, unknown): “another bacterium, Bacillus anthracis (11).”
