Abstract

This report outlines the main conclusions from an expert consultation on molecular epidemiology held on 22-23 November 2011, hosted and organised by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) [1]. The consultation brought together researchers, microbiologists and public health experts to discuss how public health can benefit from the recent scientific and technological advances in molecular microbiology, with special focus on the rapidly evolving next-generation sequencing technology.
