Integrating multiple genomic technologies to investigate an outbreak of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter hormaechei

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are an urgent threat to human health. Here, Roberts et al. characterise and monitor an ongoing hospital outbreak of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacter hormaechei by integrating several technologies for whole-genome sequencing and shotgun metagenomics.
