Multidrug-resistant bacteria are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Tracking the nosocomial spread of resistant bacteria is critical to infection control. Mellmann et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 54:2874-2881, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00790-16) have described prospective whole-genome sequencing with core genome multilocus sequencing typing (cgMLST) analysis for real-time surveillance and have addressed the practical aspects of implementing this type of operation in the hospital setting.
多重耐药菌在全球范围内导致了大量的发病和死亡。追踪耐药菌在医院内的传播对于感染控制至关重要。Mellmann等人(《临床微生物学杂志》54:2874 - 2881, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00790 - 16)描述了采用核心基因组多位点测序分型(cgMLST)分析进行前瞻性全基因组测序以进行实时监测,并探讨了在医院环境中实施此类操作的实际问题。
