Long-read sequencing-based in silico phage typing of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium

Abstract Background Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are successful nosocomial pathogens able to cause hospital outbreaks. In the Netherlands, core-genome MLST (cgMLST) based on short-read sequencing is often used for molecular typing. Long-read sequencing is more rapid and provides useful inf...
