A hybrid simulation model approach to examine bacterial genome sequencing during a hospital outbreak

A hybrid simulation model approach to examine bacterial genome sequencing during a hospital outbreak

Abstract Background Hospital infection control requires timely detection and identification of organisms, and their antimicrobial susceptibility. We describe a hybrid modeling approach to evaluate whole genome sequencing of pathogens for improving clinical decisions during a 2017 hospital outbreak o...
