Whole-Genome Sequencing Shows That Patient-to-Patient Transmission Rarely Accounts for Acquisition of Staphylococcus aureus in an Intensive Care Unit

An assessment of Staphylococcus aureus acquisition among intensive care patients using serial sampling and whole-genome sequencing found less than a fifth of acquisitions resulted from patient-to-patient transmission. Whole-genome sequencing identified transmission more accurately than spa-typing an...
