description Ahmed Babiker’s work focuses on the clinical and genomic epidemiology of multidrug-resistant health care-associated pathogens and other high-consequence pathogens. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the paper “Tracking a Hospital Outbreak of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae with Whole-Genome Sequencing” by Evan S. Snitkin et al. (Sci Transl Med 4:148ra116, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.3004129) impacted his thinking on the use of whole-genome sequencing for nosocomial transmission investigation.
