Application of nanopore sequencing to identify antimicrobial resistance genes, mobile genetic elements and virulence factors in clinical isolates
2023-10-26
Abstract excerpt
The global health challenge posed by the emergence of antibiotic resistance pathogen is further exacerbated in African countries by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, poor surveillance and lack of stewardship programs. To address this issue, we employed the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) to sequence 17 clinical isolates from a referral hospital in Kenya. Our comprehensive bioinformatics approach facilitate...
