Data from: Use of long-read sequencing simulators to assess real-world applications for food safety
<p>Shiga toxin-producing <em>Escherichia coli</em> (STEC) and <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> are responsible for severe foodborne illnesses in the United States. Current identification methods require at least four days to identify STEC and six days for <em>L. monocytogenes</em>. Adoption of long-read, whole genome …
