Rapid Nanopore Whole-Genome Sequencing for Anthrax Emergency Preparedness

Rapid Nanopore Whole-Genome Sequencing for Anthrax Emergency Preparedness

Human anthrax cases necessitate rapid response. We completed Bacillus anthracis nanopore whole-genome sequencing in our high-containment laboratory from a human anthrax isolate hours after receipt. The de novo assembled genome showed no evidence of known antimicrobial resistance genes or introduced...
