      van Hal, Sebastiaan J.; Willems, Rob J.L.; Gouliouris, Theodore; Ballard, Susan A.; Coque, Teresa M.; Hammerum, Anette M.; Hegstad, Kristin; Westh, Henrik; Howden, Benjamin P.; Malhotra-Kumar, Surbhi; Werner, Guido; Yanagihara, Katsunori; Earl, Ashlee M.; Raven, Katherine E.; Corander, Jukka; Bowden, Rory (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-30)
      <i>Background</i> - The hospital-adapted A1 group of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> remains an organism of significant concern in the context of drug-resistant hospital-associated infections. How this pathogen evolves and disseminates remains poorly understood.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - A large, globally representative collection of short-read genomic data from the hospital-associated A1 group of ...

    • Taking hospital pathogen surveillance to the next level 

      Werner, Guido; Couto, Natacha; Feil, Edward J.; Novais, Angela; Hegstad, Kristin; Howden, Benjamin P.; Friedrich, Alexander W.; Reuter, Sandra (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-26)
      High-throughput bacterial genomic sequencing and subsequent analyses can produce large volumes of high-quality data rapidly. Advances in sequencing technology, with commensurate developments in bioinformatics, have increased the speed and efficiency with which it is possible to apply genomics to outbreak analysis and broader public health surveillance. This approach has been focused on targeted ...
