This study identifies two genes with high nucleotide diversity for species and genetic lineage classification of Citrobacter spp., reducing costs compared to whole-genome sequencing.

This study develops a rapid method to determine the genetic lineage of Escherichia coli isolates using open reading frame composition, achieving results in under 30 minutes with high accuracy.

This paper introduces a shallow sequencing method using Nanopore data to determine genetic lineages and detect antimicrobial resistance genes in E. coli with minimal data.
