The usefulness of nanopore sequencing in whole-genome sequencing-based genotyping of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis.

This study unveils that Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing, by itself, holds the potential to serve as a whole-genome sequencing-based genotyping tool in public health laboratories, enabling routine subtyping of bacterial isolates for disease surveillance and outbreak investigations.
