摘要

Multidrug-resistant bacteria have been assessed as an urgent threat to global public health, and the sequencing of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in these organisms is critical to understanding both the molecular mechanisms of resistance and the basis of their dissemination (1). As many resistance genes are located on plasmids, methods for plasmid sequencing are paramount to the success of these efforts. Sequencing of plasmids is also essential for accurate epidemiologic tracking in the settings of both hospital outbreaks and routine surveillance (2–4). However, the difficulty of achieving contiguous assemblies of plasmids using short-read sequencing technologies, such as those offered by the Illumina and Ion Torrent instruments, is well known (5). Sequence assemblies cannot unambiguously recover repeat-containing genomic regions if there are no reads that span the repeats. For short-read Illumina sequencing, fragment length is typically not longer than ~400 to 500 bp, substantially shorter than the lengths of most mobile genetic elements. As a consequence, assemblies of plasmids that are enriched for these repeats are often extensively fragmented and frequently incomplete. Long-read sequencing with Pacific Biosystems (PacBio) instruments allows full assembly of plasmids to closure in many cases (3), but these instruments are expensive and large and remain inaccessible to most research and clinical labs.
