A Primer to Using Whole Genome Sequencing for Infection Prevention

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.
