Whole Genome Sequencing for Genomics-Guided Investigations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Outbreaks
Multi isolate whole genome sequencing (WGS) and typing for outbreak investigations has become a reality in the post-genomics era. We applied this technology to strains from Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreaks. These include isolates from seven North America outbreaks, as well as multiple isolates fro...
