Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the performance of the IR-Biotyper in detecting nosocomial outbreaks caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, comparing it with MLST, cgMLST, and WGS. We proposed a cutoff that showed the highest concordance compared to WGS and assessed the within-run precision of the IR-Biotyper by evaluating the consistency in genetically identical strain when repeated in the same run.
