Whole genome mapping of 5' RNA ends in bacteria by tagged sequencing : A comprehensive view in Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]

, 2014
Enterococcus faecalis is the third cause of nosocomial infections. To obtain the first comprehensive view of transcriptional organizations in this bacterium, we used a modified RNA-seq approach enabling to discriminate primary from processed 5'RNA ends. We also validated our approach by confirming known features in Escherichia coli.

The NOSTRA model: coherent estimation of infection sources in the case of possible nosocomial transmission [PDF]

Nosocomial infections have important consequences for patients and hospital staff: they worsen patient outcomes and their management stresses already overburdened health systems. Accurate judgements of whether an infection is nosocomial helps staff make appropriate choices to protect other patients within the hospital.
