Infection prevention in practice·2026

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is standard for bacterial characterization. New rapid WGS methods now enable same-day results, significantly improving infectious disease outbreak response and prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Genomics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is the established standard for bacterial genetic characterization.
  • WGS is crucial for surveillance and outbreak investigations.
  • Current WGS methods face limitations due to slow turn-around times.

Approach:

  • Review of current knowledge on WGS applications.
  • Exploration of novel approaches to accelerate WGS processes.
  • Focus on rapid typing and gene detection.

Key Points:

  • Accelerated WGS methods can now provide results within one day.
  • This speed enables near-immediate clinical action following bacterial detection.
  • Rapid WGS significantly impacts the prevention of infectious disease transmission.

Conclusions:

  • New WGS approaches overcome previous time constraints.
  • Faster WGS enhances the ability to control infectious disease outbreaks.
  • This advancement holds substantial promise for future public health strategies.
