Megaplasmids on the Rise: Combining Sequencing Approaches to Fully Resolve a Carbapenemase-Encoding Plasmid in a Proposed Novel <i>Pseudomonas</i> Species
2019-04-07
Abstract excerpt
Horizontal transfer of plasmids plays a pivotal role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes and emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Sequencing of plasmids is thus paramount for the success of accurate epidemiological tracking strategies in the hospital setting and routine surveillance. Here, we combine Nanopore and Illumina sequencing to fully assemble a carbapenemase-encoding megaplasmid carri...
