Implementation of Genomics in Clinical and Public Health Microbiology

Microbial sequencing is rapidly being incorporated into public health and clinical microbiology, informed by over two decades of microbial genomics research and methods development. However, the integration of genomics into public health and clinical services and workflows is complex and requires consideration of a wide range of issues including workflow management, data analysis and reporting, and evaluation of how microbial genomic data can and should be used to support decision-making. This collection puts the spotlight on studies supporting microbial genomics implementation – aiming to understand what, why, and how microbial genomics works in “real world” clinical and health laboratory settings, and testing approaches to improving the integration of genomics into routine microbiological diagnostics, surveillance and outbreak investigation.
This collection is now open for submissions in Microbial Genomics. Find out more about the scope of the collection and how to submit in the news story here.
