Resolution of chromosomal structural variation and vanA plasmid dynamics by nanopore-only sequencing across successive waves of a hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium

Masashi Yanagihara, Masaki Karino, Hirofumi Ohtaki, Hiroyuki Hanada, Toru Takano, Masaya Yamato, Shigefumi Okamoto

This study uses nanopore sequencing to analyze chromosomal structural variation and vanA plasmid dynamics in a hospital outbreak of VREfm, revealing genetic diversity beyond allele-based typing.
