DNA extraction from pure cultures of the Norwegian KpSC pig isolates was performed by using a MagNA Pure 96 instrument (Roche) with the DNA/Viral NA SV 2.0 kit and the pathogen universal 200 4.0 protocol. Sequencing library preparation was performed by using the Illumina Nextera DNA Flex library prep kit (Illumina), followed by sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq instrument, producing paired-end reads with a length of 300 bp.
The genomes of the KpSC originating from pig isolates from Thailand were available from a previous study [16 (link)]. A total of 87 genomes were included.
