NanoCore: core-genome-based bacterial genomic surveillance and outbreak detection in healthcare facilities from Nanopore and Illumina data.
Genomic surveillance enables the early detection of pathogen transmission in healthcare facilities and contributes to the reduction of substantial patient harm. Fast turnaround times, flexible multiplexing, and low capital requirements make Nanopore sequencing well suited for genomic surveillance purposes; the analysis of Nanopore data, however, can be challenging. We present NanoCore, a user-friendly method for Nanopore-based genomic surveillance in healthcare facilities, enabling the calculation and visualization of cgMLST-like (core-genome multilocus sequence typing) sample distances directly from unassembled Nanopore reads. NanoCore implements a mapping, variant calling, and multilevel filtering strategy and also supports the analysis of Illumina data. We validated NanoCore on two 24-isolate data sets of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE). In the Nanopore-only mode, NanoCore-based pairwise distances between closely related isolates were near-identical to Illumina-based SeqSphere+ distances, a gold standard commercial method (average differences of 0.75 and 0.81 alleles for MRSA and VRE; sd = 0.98 and 1.00), and gave an identical clustering into closely related and non-closely related isolates. In the "hybrid" mode, in which only Nanopore data are used for some isolates and only Illumina data for others, increased average pairwise isolate distance differences were observed (average differences of 3.44 and 1.95 for MRSA and VRE, respectively; sd = 2.76 and 1.34), while clustering results remained identical. NanoCore is computationally efficient (<15 hours of wall time for the analysis of a 24-isolate data set on a workstation), available as free software, and supports installation via conda. In conclusion, NanoCore enables the effective use of the Nanopore technology for bacterial pathogen surveillance in healthcare facilities.
Importance: Genomic surveillance involves sequencing the genomes and measuring the relatedness of bacteria from different patients or locations in the same healthcare facility, enabling an improved understanding of pathogen transmission pathways and the detection of "silent" outbreaks that would otherwise go undetected. It has become an indispensable tool for the detection and prevention of healthcare-associated infections and is routinely applied by many healthcare institutions.

The analysis of Nanopore sequencing data, however, can be challenging. We present NanoCore, a user-friendly software for genomic surveillance that works directly based on Nanopore sequencing reads in FASTQ format, and demonstrate that its accuracy is equivalent to traditional gold standard short read-based analyses.
