Evaluation of whole genome sequencing for outbreak detection of Salmonella enterica.

Salmonella enterica is a common cause of minor and large food borne outbreaks. To achieve successful and nearly 'real-time' monitoring and identification of outbreaks, reliable sub-typing is essential. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) shows great promises for using as a routine epidemiologica...

Evaluation of whole genome sequencing for outbreak detection of Salmonella enterica.
