Rapid Open-Source SNP-Based Clustering Offers an Alternative to Core Genome MLST for Outbreak Tracing in a Hospital Setting

Rapid Open-Source SNP-Based Clustering Offers an Alternative to Core Genome MLST for Outbreak Tracing in a Hospital Setting

Traditional genotyping methods for infection control of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in healthcare settings have been supplemented by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), often relying on a gene-based approach, e.g., core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), to cluster-related samples. In this...
