Genomics dissection and prevention of bacterial transmission events

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中的传播。多学科研究小组将把流行病学数据与来自细菌基因组的最精细分辨数据联系起来，以便准确地确定感染在个人之间传播的事件。两种高负担的病原体(金黄色葡萄球菌和食源性沙门氏菌)将被用作不同生物学和传播方式的传染病的样本。

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.
