Comparative analysis of IR-Biotyper, MLST, cgMLST, and WGS for clustering of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a neonatal intensive care unit
5 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
(VREFM) pose a significant threat to healthcare. Confirming the relatedness of the bacterial isolates from different patients is challenging. We aimed to assess the efficacy of IR-Biotyper, multilocus sequencing typing (MLST), and core-genome MLST (cgMLST) in comparison with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for outbreak confirmation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Twenty VREFM isolates from four neonates...
