PathoSPOT genomic epidemiology reveals under-the-radar nosocomial outbreaks
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used to map the spread of bacterial and viral pathogens in nosocomial settings. A limiting factor for more widespread adoption of WGS for hospital infection prevention practices is the availability of standardized tools for genomic epidemiology. METHODS: We developed the Pathogen Sequencing Phylogenomic Outbreak Toolkit (PathoSPOT) to automate integration...
