Abstract Motivation Antimicrobial resistance surveillance in ESKAPEE pathogens requires reproducible, portable whole-genome analysis that public health laboratories including those operating under data-sovereignty constraints can run on laptops, institutional servers, or cloud backends without local dependency conflicts. rMAP 2.0 addresses these needs using a containerized Workflow Description Language pipeline executed with Cromwell. Results rMAP 2.0 standardizes end-to-end bacterial whole-genome analysis—read quality control, trimming, assembly and annotation, resistance/virulence/mobile-element profiling, sequence typing, pangenome inference, and phylogenetic reconstruction using containerized execution, and generates a single interactive HTML report that collates outputs for rapid review. The workflow supports fully offline execution (including BLAST searches) for data-sovereign deployments and can run on local workstations, institutional servers, and cloud backends where Docker is supported, providing a consistent execution environment without local tool installation. In a representative benchmark of 20 Enterobacterales isolates, rMAP 2.0 completed a cohort run in ∼4.5 hours on an 8-core/16-GB laptop and flagged a public record misannotated in public repository metadata (SRR9703249, reclassified from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Enterobacter cloacae sequence type 182), while confirming lineage assignments such as Escherichia coli sequence type 131.
