Integration of genomic and clinical data augments surveillance of healthcare-acquired infections
23 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Determining infectious cross-transmission events in healthcare settings involves manual surveillance of case clusters by infection control personnel, followed by strain typing of clinical/environmental isolates suspected in said clusters. Recent advances in genomic sequencing and cloud computing now allow for the rapid molecular typing of infecting isolates. OBJECTIVE: To facilitate rapid recognition...
