#4 Virtual multidisciplinary training workshop to resolve a carbapenem-resistant and/or colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak using simulation exercises (January, 2024)
This training workshop will be held as a simulation exercise based on a fictitious outbreak scenario, with data release over time (22nd January to 06th February). The aim is to investigate a possible multi-hospital outbreak situation with the help of data injects (epidemiological and genomic data) from different hospitals. The publicly available Illumina sequence data will be used for the simulation exercise.
The participants will be familiarized with the methods of visualization of epidemiological data to be able to decide the existence of an outbreak. The participants will also learn about principles and methodologies for subtyping and cluster analysis to be able to detect C/CRAb outbreaks by using WGS-based methods.
Invitation to the exercise was sent out in December 2023
Online Session 1: Monday 22 January 2024
Online Session 2: Tuesday 06 February 2024
#5 Virtual multidisciplinary training workshop to resolve a CCRE outbreak scenario using simulation exercises (October 2024)
The training workshop will continue along the lines of the first workshop in spring 2023, and will include exercises on WGS data analysis, including sequence quality control, in silico typing and detection of antimicrobial resistance genes as well as cluster analysis. The exercises will be organised as virtual outbreak exercise to practise and test the capability to use WGS-data in outbreak investigations and interpreting these in relation to the epidemiological investigations.
More information will follow in summer 2024
