“…The raw data were trimmed with Trimmomatic v0.36 (24) and genome assembly was performed using SPAdes v3.11.0 (25). BLAST v2.6.0 (26) was used to identify known antimicrobial resistance genes associated with mecillinam resistance (9,27) in the assembled genomes, and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in these genes were identified in the positions that were conserved across 20 reference genomes (Genbank accessions: AE014075, CP000819, CP000946, CP000970, CP001164, CP001509, CP001637, CP001665, CP001671, CP001855, CP001969, CP002167, CP002516, CP009072, HG941718, NC_000913, NC_002695, NC_004431, NC_013353, NC_013361). Sequence types (STs), beta-lactamase resistance genes and virulence genes were identified from the raw data using SRST2 v.0.2.0 (28).…”
