Pathogen genome enrichment sequencing to support a city-wide Legionnaires’ disease outbreak investigation
Abstract Pathogen genomics can provide high-confidence source attribution for epidemiological investigations of Legionnaires' disease (LD) outbreaks. However, the utility of culture-based genomics can be undermined by long lead times for Legionella pneumophila culture or a lack of isolates when dealing with non-cultura...
