A pilot study of rapid whole-genome sequencing for the investigation of a <i>Legionella</i> outbreak

1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Epidemiological investigations of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks rely on the rapid identification and typing of clinical and environmental Legionella isolates in order to identify and control the source of infection. Rapid bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is an emerging technology that has the potential to rapidly discriminate outbreak from non-outbreak isolates in a clinically relevant time...
