Typhi Mykrobe: fast and accurate lineage identification and antimicrobial resistance genotyping directly from sequence reads for the typhoid fever agent Salmonella Typhi

Danielle J. Ingle, Jane Hawkey, Martin Hunt…·Kathryn E. Holt

Mykrobe k-mer panel genotypes Salmonella Typhi lineages, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers and plasmids from Illumina or nanopore reads, matching mapping-based lineage calls for 99.8% of genomes.
