Real-Time Genome Sequencing of Resistant Bacteria Provides Precision Infection Control in an Institutional Setting
25 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is a serious global challenge. Here, we studied prospectively whether bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for real-time MDR surveillance is technical feasible, returns actionable results, and is cost-beneficial. WGS was applied to all MDR isolates of four species (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA], vancomycin-resistant...
