The need for speed: ultra-rapid high-resolution outbreak analysis in a front-line hospital microbiology laboratory

Max Bloomfield, Sarah Bakker, Megan Burton, Kristin H. Dyet, Alexandra Eustace, Samantha Hutton, Jamaal Jeram, Donia P Macartney-Coxson, David J. Winter, Rhys T. White

This study demonstrates that a cloud-based bioinformatics platform can rapidly analyze genomic data to detect hospital outbreaks with results comparable to manual analysis, without requiring bioinformatic expertise.

Resolving a neonatal intensive care unit outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the SNV level using Oxford Nanopore simplex reads and HERRO error correction

Max Bloomfield, Sarah Bakker, Megan Burton, M. Leticia Castro, Kristin H. Dyet, Alexandra Eustace, Samantha Hutton, Donia P Macartney-Coxson, William Taylor, Rhys T. White

This paper applies HERRO error correction to Oxford Nanopore sequencing data to resolve a neonatal ICU MRSA outbreak at the SNV level, achieving results comparable to Illumina sequencing.
