Clinical perspectives in integrating whole-genome sequencing into the investigation of healthcare and public health outbreaks – hype or help?

Abstract excerpt

Outbreaks pose a significant risk to patient safety as well as being costly and time consuming to investigate. The implementation of targeted infection prevention and control measures relies on infection prevention and control teams having access to rapid results that detect resistance accurately, and typing results that give clinically useful information on the relatedness of isolates. At present, determining...
