Integrating whole-genome sequencing within the National Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program in the Philippines

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can support drug resistance surveillance, but is rare in low- and middle-income countries. Here, the authors integrate WGS within the national antimicrobial resistance surveillance program in the Philippines and conduct a retrospective sequencing survey to characterize...

Description
Summary:Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) can support drug resistance surveillance, but is rare in low- and middle-income countries. Here, the authors integrate WGS within the national antimicrobial resistance surveillance program in the Philippines and conduct a retrospective sequencing survey to characterize bacterial populations and dissect resistance phenotypes.
