Norovirus Transmission Dynamics in a Pediatric Hospital Using Full Genome Sequences
Abstract
Norovirus genome sequencing identified 33% of patients whose sequences were linked phylogenetically to those of another patient in the study. An additional 24% of nosocomially infected patients had unlinked sequences, suggesting infection from unsampled sources. Genome sequencing identifies unsuspected nosocomial norovirus infection.
