Genomic surveillance of multidrug-resistant organisms based on long-read sequencing

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. National reference and public health laboratories (NRLs, PHLs) monitor trends in antimicrobial resistance and transmission of MDRO for surveillance purposes.

During this presentation, Fabian Landman explored how to develop automated genomic MDRO surveillance based on long nanopore sequencing reads.
