Sampling and host-strain interactions shape detection of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> transmission in hospitals

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

In principle, whole-genome sequencing of Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals is most effective when used prospectively, but its practical limits are unclear. We performed large-scale genomic surveillance across two interconnected hospitals, sequencing 4,779 S. aureus isolates from admission screening and clinical cultures. Integration of genomic and epidemiologic data identified 361 transmission events undetected...
