Abstract excerpt

Whole genome sequencing (WGS), used as the main method for outbreak investigations, requires substantial technical expertise and is routinely done by reference laboratories. Therefore, the actionable information is often delayed. This study is the first to assess Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as an alternative tool to investigate nosocomial Clostridioides difficile transmission. The FTIR...
