Methodology for Whole-Genome Sequencing of Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Isolates in a Routine Hospital Microbiology Laboratory

Abstract

There is growing evidence for the value of bacterial whole-genome sequencing in hospital outbreak investigations. Our aim was to develop methods that support efficient and accurate low-throughput clinical sequencing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates. </jats:p
