Verification of nanopore sequencing technology for clinical carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales surveillance

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) pose a critical threat to global public health and often contribute to the rapid plasmid-mediated dissemination of carbapenemase genes. While established routine diagnostics can confirm the presence of the most common carbapenemases, these approaches do not resolve the genomic context of resistance and thus cannot confirm transmission events,…
