Mapping outbreaks in the 21st century

Advanced DNA sequencing techniques are being used to map the spread of infections such as c.difficile and tuberculosis, giving a detailed genetic picture of who, how and where disease is spread.

Professor Derrick Crook discusses how research at Oxford University Hospitals is being used to combat infection in the community and in hospitals, and how it could influence the future use of antibiotics.
