The benefits of routine-based sequencing of pathogens | Webinar

Next generation sequencing (NGS)-based typing of pathogens has increasingly been applied in public health and nosocomial infection control as part of outbreak response. This increased capacity for rapid typing allows for identification of outbreak sources and transmission of pathogens. Early identification of clonal spread of pathogens through contaminated medical instruments can save patients lives! In this webinar, successful experiences in the application of NGS-based typing are presented, underlining the benefits of timely large scale typing for health care. 00:00 Start 00:01 Introduction - Prof. John Rossen 02:33 NGS-based surveillance of VRE-carriage may prevent infections - Dr Eric Bathoorn 33:23 Early detection of contaminated medical instruments by NGS-based surveillance of HRMOs - Dr Mariette Lokate 1:01:55 The implementation of WGS of SARS-CoV-2 to inform the COVID-19 public health response in Scotland - Prof. Matt Holden Disclaimer The webinars / lectures provided by the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC) are for informational purposes only.
