Summary
This study uses whole genome sequencing to track how ESBL-producing bacteria (a type of drug-resistant germ) spread among hospital patients and staff. Researchers will analyze samples from 2,000 people to find out whether infections come from other patients, the environment, or elsewhere. The goal is to better understand transmission routes so hospitals can prevent future outbreaks.
