The goal is to find the most streamlined method that minimizes steps while ensuring accurate identification of resistance alleles. Among the provided options, the most direct approach involves comparing the sequencing reads directly to the alleles of interest, which allows for quick identification without the need for extensive preliminary steps like consensus generation or complete genome assembly."}
