MSystems, 9(3).

author keywords: serotyping; food-borne pathogens; Salmonella; Escherichia coli; 16S rRNA; long-read sequencing
TL;DR: A new computational technology is developed that allows the important foodborne pathogens Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica to be serotyped (a subspecies level classification) from sequencing of a single-marker gene, and the 16S rRNA gene often used to surveil bacterial communities.
