Protocol and quality assessment
The use of WGS for the prediction of resistance genes is not trivial, as it covers a range of different laboratory processes and bioinformatics applications, which can be performed in many different ways.
Suggestions for commonly used technologies and methods within these areas are covered in the protocol below:
