Abstract excerpt
Timely diagnostic tools are needed to improve antibiotic treatment. Pairing metagenomic sequencing with genomic neighbor typing algorithms may support rapid clinically actionable results. We created resistance-associated sequence elements (RASE) databases for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. and used them to predict antibiotic susceptibility in directly sequenced (Oxford Nanopore) urine specimens from...
