This project aims at improving public health capacity to limit the spread of infectious diseases in hospital and community settings. The multi-disciplinary team of investigators will link epidemiological data with the finest resolution data from bacterial genomes in order to pinpoint events of infection transmission between individuals. Two high-burden pathogens (golden staph and food-borne Salmonella) will be used as exemplars of infectious diseases with different biology and modes of spread.

该项目旨在提高公共卫生能力，以限制传染病在医院和社区环境中的传播。多学科的研究人员团队将把流行病学数据与细菌基因组的最高分辨率数据联系起来，以查明个体之间的感染传播事件。两种高负荷病原体（金黄色葡萄球菌和食源性沙门氏菌）将被用作具有不同生物学和传播模式的传染病的范例。
