Abstract excerpt
A major barrier to using genome sequencing in medical microbiology is the ability to interpret the data. New schemes that provide information about the importance of sequence variation in both clinical and public health settings are required. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen that is being observed with increasing frequency in community settings. Better tools...
