Defining nosocomial transmission of Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance genes: a genomic surveillance study

Summary: Background: Escherichia coli is a leading cause of bloodstream infections. Developing interventions to reduce E coli infections requires an understanding of the frequency of nosocomial transmission, but the available evidence is scarce. We aimed to detect and characterise transmission of E...
