Abstract:Regular surveillance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is important to understand the emergence and epidemiology of antibiotic resistance (AR) in clinical and environmental niches. With diminishing costs, NGS technologies are anticipated to replace classical microbiological and molecular methods for determination of AR. One major hindrance underlying identification and annotation of ARGs from WGS data is that a major part of genome databases contain fragmented genes/genomes (due to incomplete assembly).
