Absence of patient-to-patient intrahospital transmission of Staphylococcus aureus as determined by whole-genome sequencing.

mBio - 7 Oct 2014

Long S Wesley, Beres Stephen B, Olsen Randall J, Musser James M

Abstract excerpt

Nosocomial transmission of pathogens is a major health care challenge. The increasing spread of antibiotic-resistant strains represents an ongoing threat to public health. Previous Staphylococcus aureus transmission studies have focused on transmission of S. aureus between asymptomatic carriers or used low-resolution typing methods such as multilocus sequence typing (MLST) or spa typing. To identify...
