Prospective whole genome sequencing to aid the identification and control of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus transmissions in a neonatal ICU
Prospective genotyping of surveillance and clinical methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolates in a neonatal intensive care unit over a 26-month period identified multiple MSSA clusters that were otherwise unappreciated and helped to both catalyze and calibrate infection control measures.
