Join us for an overview and live demonstration of MicrobeTrace: a free, intuitive, web-based, standalone tool that can be used to integrate and explore genetic and epidemiologic data. We will provide a live overview of MicrobeTrace and demonstrate how MicrobeTrace was used in Washington state to investigate a multi-county outbreak of E. coli linked to pasteurized yogurt in 2021.
