Although the outbreak is technically over, its impact could be felt for years as the P. aeruginosa strain that caused it – a strain not previously seen in the U.S. – is now circulating in U.S. healthcare facilities. The investigation into the outbreak highlighted how whole-genome sequencing, strong epidemiology programs in state health departments, and collaboration between state and federal agencies can help unravel the source of outbreaks that otherwise appear to have no common link.", "8e258b49-53ff-4566-8088-a5161e4a62cc": "How sequencing, collaboration solved the Pseudomonas outbreak tied to eye drops"}
