Multi-site implementation of whole genome sequencing for hospital infection control: A prospective genomic epidemiological analysis

Summary: Background: Current microbiological methods lack the resolution to accurately identify multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission, however, whole genome sequencing can identify highly-related patient isolates providing opportunities for precision infection control interventions. We i...
