Abstract |
Next-generation sequencing is a powerful tool to accurately identify pathogens. The MinION sequencer is best suited for the rapid identification of bacterial species due to its real-time sequence output. In this chapter, we introduce a method to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in one sequencing analysis from culture isolates using the MinION sequencer. NTM disease is now recognized as a growing global health concern due to its increasing incidence and prevalence. There are over 200 NTM species, of which the major pathogens are further classified into many subspecies showing different antibiotic susceptibilities. Therefore, identifying the pathogens at the subspecies level of NTM is necessary to select an appropriate treatment regimen. The protocol described here includes DNA extraction by lysis using silica beads, library preparation, sequencing by the MinION sequencer, and analysis of multilocus sequence typing using the software "mlstverse" and enables rapid and comprehensive identification of 175 species of NTM at the subspecies level with high sensitivity and accuracy. |
