PathoSPOT genomic epidemiology reveals under-the-radar nosocomial outbreaks

Abstract Background Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used to map the spread of bacterial and viral pathogens in nosocomial settings. A limiting factor for more widespread adoption of WGS for hospital infection prevention practices is the availability of standardized tools for genomic ep...
