Definition of a genetic relatedness cutoff to exclude recent transmission of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: a genomic epidemiology analysis
1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can be used in genomic epidemiology investigations to confirm or refute outbreaks of bacterial pathogens, and to support targeted and efficient infection control interventions. We aimed to define a genetic relatedness cutoff, quantified as a number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), for meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), above which recent (ie,...
