Characterization of a Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strain Derived from Oreochromis spp. Farms Using Whole-Genome Sequencing

The feasibility of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) strategies using benchtop instruments has simplified the genome interrogation of every microbe of public health relevance in a lab setting. A methodological adaptation of the workflow for bacterial WGS is described and a bioinformatics pipeline for analysis is also presented.
