Clinical implementation of continuous genomic surveillance to identify, track and interrupt the transmission of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are generally associated with an increased risk of developing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, many patients are affected by HAIs, which has significantly increased the overall operational cost of the healthcare system. Although it is extremely important to identify pathogens with high transmission rates in hospital settings, the capacity of diagnostic laboratories is …
