Whole Genome Sequencing reveals the contribution of long-term carriers in Staphylococcus aureus outbreak investigation

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) makes it possible to determine the relatedness of bacterial isolates at high resolution, helping to characterise outbreaks. However, for Staphylococcus aureus, accumulation of within-host diversity during carriage might limit interpretation of sequencing data. In this s...
