This study confirms the efficacy of combining Nanopore long-read and Illumina short-read sequencing for determining complete bacterial genome sequences, enabling detection and characterization of clinically important ARGs in the marine environment in Norway, with potential for further dissemination. It also highlights the need for environmental surveillance of antibiotic resistance in low prevalence settings like Norway.
