Exploration of antibiotic resistance risks in a veterinary teaching hospital with Oxford Nanopore long read sequencing.
The Oxford Nanopore MinION DNA sequencing device can produce large amounts of long sequences, typically several kilobases, within a few hours. This long read capacity was exploited to detect antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in a large veterinary teaching hospital environment, and to assess thei...
