"Anyone who has spent time inside a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) knows
it’s intense.
For the tiny babies cared for in these wards, any infection could prove fatal.
Great care is taken to prevent the spread of pathogens, but outbreaks still
occur.
Traditionally, detecting outbreaks within a NICU has been reactive – only after
multiple babies fall ill at the same time.
Our research is advancing the use of whole-genome sequencing technologies to
detect outbreaks early and stamp out bacteria before they threaten more
babies."
