Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the context of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacteria is considered a highly accurate and comprehensive surveillance method for detecting and tracking the spread of resistant pathogens. Two primary sequencing technologies exist: short-read sequencing (50-300 base pairs) and long-read sequencing (thousands of base pairs). The former, based on Illumina...
