Abstract

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and clinical review were used to characterize 14 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) due to Staphylococcus epidermidis. WGS, which demonstrated disparate strains, suggested that 42.9% of S. epidermidis CLABSI cases were due to contamination, while clinical review suggested that 57.1% were contamination events.
