Interpretation of Whole-Genome Sequencing for Enteric Disease Surveillance and Outbreak Investigation

Abstract excerpt

The routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as part of enteric disease surveillance is substantially enhancing our ability to detect and investigate outbreaks and to monitor disease trends. At the same time, it is revealing as never before the vast complexity of microbial and human interactions that contribute to outbreak ecology. Since WGS analysis is primarily used to characterize and compare microbial...
