Abstract excerpt
Background. Accurate outbreak analysis is essential for effective infectious disease control. While short-read Illumina sequencing is the current gold standard for genotyping pathogens, Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers advantages such as portability and real-time sequencing. However, the accuracy of ONT for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) detection and core genome multilocus sequence typing...
