Precision long-read metagenomics sequencing for food safety by detection and assembly of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in irrigation water

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.

Nanopore sequencing for fast determination of plasmids, phages, virulence markers, and antimicrobial resistance genes in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli

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.

Whole genome sequence analysis of 91 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from mice caught on poultry farms in the mid 1990s

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze 91 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from mice on poultry farms, identifying SNPs that distinguish isolates and provide biomarkers for outbreak detection.
