Microbiology 2018: A Genomic Infection Control Study for Staphylococcus aureus In Two Ghanaian Hospitals

Whole genome sequencing analysis (WGSA) has the highest resolution for bacterial isolate typing and the potential to detect transmission channels. The study's goal was to utilise WGSA to clarify putative transmission events involving two suspected outbreaks of Staphylococcus aureus in a Ghanaian hospital, as well as to define genomic features of the S. aureus isolates in the outbreaks
