Application of Long-Read Whole-Genome Sequencing to Clarify Genotypic–Phenotypic Discrepancies in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
elements suppressed actual resistance expression. Because conventional PCR focusing on partial gene segments could overlook such phenotypic traits, the meticulous observation and implementation of WGS are crucial for the accurate characterization of genotypic-phenotypic discrepancies.
