- Abstract
The article discusses the reveal of the transmission pathway of the regional outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in the U.S. in 2008 through the performing of interfacility patient-transfer data and integrated genomic analysis. Topics mentioned include the aim to develop strategies against multidrug-resistant organisms, the events of patient transfer that explains the regional outbreak, and the simulation that identifies the facilities where the patients has acquired their infections.
