Large-Scale Evaluation of a Rapid Fully Automated Analysis Platform to Detect and Refute Outbreaks Based on MRSA Genome Comparisons

ABSTRACT Genomic epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) could transform outbreak investigations, but its clinical introduction is hampered by the lack of automated data analysis tools to rapidly and accurately define transmission based on sequence relatedness. We aimed to...
