Role of molecular epidemiology in infection control.

Infectious disease clinics of North America - 1 Jun 1997

Weber S, Pfaller M A, Herwaldt L A

Abstract excerpt

Molecular typing methods have enabled infection control personnel to investigate outbreaks and endemic nosocomial infections more quickly and thoroughly than they could have with basic epidemiologic and microbiologic methods. This article reviews molecular typing methods that have been used successfully in the practice of hospital epidemiology. Included is an explanation of the basic principles of these methods...
