Accessory Genomic Epidemiology of Cocirculating Acinetobacter baumannii Clones
Abstract
Whole-genome sequencing for epidemiological investigations (genomic epidemiology) has been of paramount importance to understand the transmission dynamics of many bacterial (and nonbacterial) pathogens. Commonly, variation in the core genome, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), is employed to carry out genomic epidemiology.
