Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Healthcare-associated infections are a major concern in intensive care units (ICUs), where early detection of transmission cluster is critical. Whole-genome sequencing remains the reference method for outbreak investigation but is limited by cost and turnaround time. The IR Biotyper (IRBT) provides rapid phenotypic clustering, but its core-genome-level performance remains insufficiently evaluated....
