A supervised statistical learning approach for accurate <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> source attribution during outbreaks

2017-05-02

Abstract excerpt

Public health agencies are increasingly relying on genomics during Legionnaires’ disease investigations. However, the causative bacterium ( Legionella pneumophila ) has an unusual population structure with extreme temporal and spatial genome sequence conservation. Furthermore, Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks can be caused by multiple L. pneumophila genotypes in a single source. These factors can confound cluster...
