“Illumina Sequencing of Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens Yields High-Quality, Consistent Data, Outperforming Ion Torrent Sequencing and SNP Analysis in Comparisons”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38094626

This study found that while the quality of Illumina sequencing data for foodborne bacterial pathogens is high and consistent across different labs, Ion Torrent data has higher variability, and SNP analysis is more effective than cgMLST in comparing data from different contributors.
