Ganzgenomsequenzierung in der Hygiene – sinnvoller Einsatz: Chancen und Grenzen

Hygieneteams werden im Krankenhaus oft mit der Frage konfrontiert, ob es sich bei Erregern mit pathogenem Potenzial oder auffälligem Resistenzmuster, die in zeitlichem und räumlichem Zusammenhang bei mehr als einem Patienten nachgewiesen werden, um die „gleichen“ Erreger handelt. Im Kern geht es also um die Frage der Erregerübertragung.
