Retrospective validation of whole genome sequencing-enhanced surveillance of listeriosis in Europe, 2010 to 2015.

Conclusions: These findings provide a good basis for comprehensive EU/EEA-wide, WGS-enhanced surveillance of listeriosis. Time limits should not be used for hypothesis generation during outbreak investigations, but should be for analytical studies. PMID: 30131096 [PubMed - in process]
