Abstract excerpt
In principle, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can predict phenotypic resistance directly from a genotype, replacing laboratory-based tests. However, the contribution of different bioinformatics methods to genotype-phenotype discrepancies has not been systematically explored to date. We compared three WGS-based bioinformatics methods (Genefinder [read based], Mykrobe [de Bruijn graph based], and Typewriter [BLAST...
