Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: K. oxytoca generally has a benign susceptibility profile and low virulence but can cause invasive infections in vulnerable populations, like preterm infants. We aim to describe how whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was used to inform management of a prolonged K. oxytoca outbreak on a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and implications for outbreak response involving similar organisms. METHODS: We...
