GETCampy Sequencing protocols v1
Résumé
As part of the GETCampy-Africa project, this protocol provides a modular workflow for extracting, sequencing, and analysing enteric pathogens from stool and environmental samples. It includes short-read (Illumina MiSeq) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore) sequencing methods, enabling hybrid metagenomic approaches for high-resolution genome assembly. DNA extraction protocols support both total community DNA and high molecular weight recovery. Library preparation workflows include Nextera XT (Illumina), rapid barcoding and ligation kits (ONT), and full-length 16S rRNA sequencing for taxonomic profiling. The protocol also outlines hybrid assembly, binning, and quality control steps for metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). Designed for field-lab compatibility and resource-limited settings, these methods support genomic surveillance of Campylobacter and other enteric pathogens across Africa.
