A common protocol for the simultaneous processing of multiple clinically relevant bacterial species for whole genome sequencing

Abstract Whole-genome sequencing is likely to become increasingly used by local clinical microbiology laboratories, where sequencing volume is low compared with national reference laboratories. Here, we describe a universal protocol for simultaneous DNA extraction and sequencing of numerous differen...
