Jean Technology
It is the current standard sequencing technique used in epidemiological investigation of bacteria
What is Multiloci Sequence Typing
This is what was considered an outbreak.
What is 2 or more cases with epidemiological links
p. Aeruginosa's Gram type (+ or -).
What is negative
If cost & expertise was not an issue, the study implies that which genetic sequencing technique would have the highest value
What is Whole Genome Sequencing
The number of variants/genotypes that are being compared.
What is 3 (DLST 1-18, 1-21, DLST 6-7)
Can p. Aeruginosa move? With what?
Yes, it has polar flagella
How are DLST and WGS used in P. aeruginosa surveillance?
DLST surveillance on a quarterly basis of patients and environment isolates and WGS is ONLY used when there is an outbreak/several patients.
This is where the studied cases were found.
What is Lausanne University Hospital ICUs
The treatment for p. Aeruginosa infection.
What is a combination of antibiotics
