Whole Genome Sequencing for the Identification of a Streptococcus agalactiae Outbreak in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background: While Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus [GBS]) infections in infants usually result from maternal transmission, healthcare-associated cases, particularly in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), can occur. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can aid in investigating GBS outbre...
