Abstract:

The development of next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology promotes the growth of microbial genomics increasingly. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been considered as a promising tool for tracking and tracing transmission pathways in outbreaks caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. This hot spot of clinical microbial research has developed a burgeoning academic field dubbed genomic epidemiology. Based on the powerful discriminatory capability in molecular typing and abundant data from WGS, people could identify the homology of multidrug-resistant bacteria at great length, elucidate their novel transmission route and decipher their evolution process in the hospital environment. They are significant for clinical infections control.

Key words: Whole-genome sequencing, Multidrug-resistant bacteria, Outbreak, Tracking, Tracing
