Beyond the SNP threshold: identifying outbreak clusters using inferred transmissions

2018-05-10

Abstract excerpt

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used to aid in understanding pathogen transmission [1]. Very often the number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) separating isolates collected during an epidemiological study are used to identify sets of cases that are potentially linked by direct transmission. However, there is little agreement in the literature as to what an appropriate SNP cut-off threshold s...
