Application of next-generation sequencing to investigate a Serratia marcescens outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit
NGS offers detailed insights into the molecular epidemiology of infections and colonization in the NICU. The genomic data generated can support real-time, evidence-based refinement of infection control strategies, contributing to improved patient safety and outbreak prevention.
