Abstract
High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies transformed the microbial typing and molecular epidemiology field by providing the cost-effective ability for researchers to probe draft genomes, not only for epidemiological markers but also for antibiotic resistance and virulence determinants. In this chapter, we provide protocols for the analysis of HTS data for the determination of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) information and for determining presence or absence of antibiotic resistance genes.
