Threshold-free genomic cluster detection to track transmission pathways in healthcare settings

2020-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Over the past decade, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has become the gold standard for tracking the spread of infections in healthcare settings. However, a critical barrier to the routine application of WGS for infection prevention is the lack of reliable criteria for determining if a genomic linkage is consistent with transmission. <h4>Methods</h4> Here, we sought to understand the genomic lands...
