Genomic DNA was extracted from isolates using the Qiagen DNeasy kit and protocol (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). DNA libraries were prepared using Nextera XT (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) and whole genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq with 2 × 300 bp chemistry. Small Molecular Real Time sequencing was performed on the RS-II (Pacific Biosciences, California, United States) using P6-C4 chemistry, and reference genome assembly was performed as described (Baines et al., 2016 (link)).
