Whole-genome sequencing of bacterial isolates is increasingly being used to predict antibacterial susceptibility and resistance. Mason and coauthors describe the phenotypic susceptibility interpretations of more than 1,300 Staphylococcus aureus isolates tested against a dozen antistaphylococcal agents, and they compared these findings to susceptibility predictions made by analyzing whole-genome sequence data (J Clin Microbiol 56:e01815-17, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01815-17 ).
