This session will cover the challenges and opportunities of using a whole genome molecular epidemiology method (NextGen Sequencing ) to investigate the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Situations including outbreaks and natural disasters will be discussed.
Viral Genomics in the Clinical Lab
Alex Greninger, MD, PhD, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
NGS for Natural Disasters
Randall Olsen, MD, PhD, Houston Methodist Hospital and Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA
Objectives:
- Describe how whole genome sequencing allows unprecedented resolution for tracking infectious disease transmission.
- Discuss investigations from large public health outbreaks of food borne illness to local hospitalacquired infections.
- Summarize the clinical utility of whole genome sequencing of microbes to identify organisms with uncertain taxonomic origin and to investigate molecular bases of unusual antimicrobial resistance or virulence phenotypes.
