Within-host bacterial diversity hinders accurate reconstruction of transmission networks from genomic distance data.

The prospect of using whole genome sequence data to investigate bacterial disease outbreaks has been keenly anticipated in many quarters, and the large-scale collection and sequencing of isolates from cases is becoming increasingly feasible. While sequence data can provide many important insights in...
