Speaker- Helen Adams  Clostridium difficile is a healthcare acquired bacterial infection which can cause death in vulnerable patients. A pilot study conducted by BCU Health Board in 2015 showed how Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) could assist in the interpretation of outbreaks. Tableau became integral to the project.
