WGS-Enabled Surveillance Improves Detection Of Transmission Events Within A Large Tertiary Care Hospital Trust In London

2026-03-30

Abstract excerpt

Infections caused by carbapenem-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) are a persistent and growing threat in healthcare settings. Yet, current infection prevention and control (IPC) surveillance methods, which largely rely on the spatial and temporal proximity of patients, often misattribute or miss infection transmission events. Here, we develop and retrospectively evaluate an integrated methodology that combines ana...
