Identification of highly variable sequence fragments in unmapped reads for rapid bacterial genotyping

Abstract Background Bacterial genotyping is a crucial process in outbreak investigation and epidemiological studies. Several typing methods such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and whole genome sequencing are currently used in routine clinical practice. However...
