Detecting outbreaks promptly is essential for patient safety and the continuity of hospital operations. Early identification of infection clusters enables rapid intervention, helping curb transmission and maintain operational stability during peak admission periods. Therefore, optimized workflows, particularly ahead of high-volume seasons, improve response times, minimize errors, and ensure resources are allocated efficiently.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool for understanding and preventing infections. By reading the complete DNA sequence of an organism, WGS can help identify and track the spread of pathogens. This guide will explain how WGS works, its applications in healthcare, and its potential to improve infection control.

Discover what genomic surveillance is, its benefits, methods, and applications in healthcare, public health, and food safety. Understand the factors to consider when starting genomic surveillance in your organization, its challenges, and how to choose the right sequencing methods.
