Whole-genome sequencing for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) outbreak investigation in a neonatal intensive care unit

4 Oct 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a molecular typing tool for MRSA outbreak investigation. DESIGN: Investigation of MRSA colonization/infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over 3 years (2014-2017). SETTING: Single-center level IV NICU.PatientsNICU infants and healthcare workers (HCWs). METHODS: Infants were screened for MRSA using a swab of the anterior nares, axilla, and groin,...
