Abstract excerpt

Nosocomial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms, pose a significant challenge in healthcare facilities. This study presents a novel approach that combines tracking patient contacts in the hospital with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial isolates for rapid surveillance of nosocomial pathogen transmissions. Isolates from...
