BoNTax is a genomic framework for classifying and characterizing Clostridium botulinum Group I and C. sporogenes, resolving species relationships and providing toxin information.

This study characterizes an atypical Salmonella enterica strain that evades conventional detection through genomic analysis, revealing a chromosomal inversion disrupting O-antigen biosynthesis and explaining its serotyping failure.

centriflaken automates metagenomic analysis for detecting and characterizing foodborne pathogens like STEC, reducing analysis time and effort.

This study evaluates the Q20+ nanopore sequencing kit for rapid and accurate bacterial pathogen identification in outbreak investigations, showing high-quality genome assembly but with variations in completeness and SNP accuracy.

This paper develops a nanopore sequencing workflow to detect and assemble Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in irrigation water, demonstrating its effectiveness for food safety applications.

The paper compares long-read sequencing methods to detect plasmids, virulence genes, and phages in STEC strains, finding MinION sequencing effective for genome closure and marker identification.
