Rapid Bacterial Whole-Genome Sequencing to Enhance Diagnostic and Public Health Microbiology
24 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: The latest generation of benchtop DNA sequencing platforms can provide an accurate whole-genome sequence (WGS) for a broad range of bacteria in less than a day. These could be used to more effectively contain the spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens. OBJECTIVE: To compare WGS with standard clinical microbiology practice for the investigation of nosocomial outbreaks caused by multidrug-resistant...
