Prof Dag Harmsen describes how microbial outbreaks can be effectively analysed by employing next generation sequencing on the Ion PGM™ System, using the example of recent E.coli and Klebsiella outbreaks.  This talks also includes how NGS can be used for epidemiology surveillance, performing cluster detection and typing to characterize new outbreaks, including descriptions of susceptibility, resistance and species nomenclature.
