The need for speed: ultra-rapid high-resolution outbreak analysis in a front-line hospital microbiology laboratory

2025-02-10

Abstract excerpt

Many hospital laboratories have technical capacity to perform whole-genome sequencing but lack bioinformatic expertise to analyse sequence data. Sending isolates to reference laboratories creates delays that can be highly detrimental to outbreak responses. The Wellington Regional Hospital laboratory, which lacks on-site bioinformaticians, implemented real-time nanopore-based genomic surveillance that has detected...
