当确认某种疾病的爆发后,必须和时间赛跑,追踪感染源并控制病毒的传播。自去年成功追踪某疾病的爆发后,细菌基因组测序技术的重要性得到了证实,该技术能在几天之内测定细菌的基因组序列。2011年7月15日,一位43岁的妇女从美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)临床中心——一家位于马里兰贝塞斯达的研究型医院——出院,接着进行了针对抗 When an outbreak of a disease has been identified, it must be timed to track the source of infection and control the spread of the virus. The importance of the bacterial genome sequencing technology has been confirmed since last year’s successful follow-up of a disease that determined the bacterial genomic sequence within days. On July 15, 2011, a 43-year-old woman was discharged from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, a research hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and then directed against
