Multidrug-resistant bacteria are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide. Tracking the nosocomial spread of resistant bacteria is critical to infection control. Mellmann et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 54:2874–2881, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00790-16 ) have described prospective whole-genome sequencing with core genome multilocus sequencing typing (cgMLST) analysis for real-time surveillance and have addressed the practical aspects of implementing this type of operation in the hospital setting.
