cgMLST typing reproducibility is maintained across diverse whole-genome sequencing workflows in a multi-country HERA2 surveillance pilot
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has become indispensable in infectious disease surveillance, yet its implementation across laboratories remains heterogeneous. Six laboratories from four European countries participated in 2023 in a pilot ring trial as part of the HERA2 project, using a standardized panel of 25 bacteri...
