Article Synopsis
- Rapid and efficient infection control is essential during outbreaks of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, with FTIR spectroscopy emerging as a promising alternative to the costly and complex WGS.
- A study investigated an outbreak of OXA-48-producing E. coli by using FTIR to determine the relatedness of isolates in real-time and confirmed findings with WGS.
- Results showed that FTIR successfully identified the outbreak cluster's genetic similarities and differences among isolates, suggesting its value as a quick, reliable tool for real-time outbreak investigations.
