Improving PacBio Assembly with Illumina reads

Hello,

I had to make an assembly with PacBio reads . It is a bacterial genome (~ 4Mb ) .

For some of the samples, I got 1 contig but for some others, I got 2 to 4 contigs while I would like to get only 1 contig .

Could it be a solution to use Illumina reads and an hybrid assembler to polish my PacBio assemblies?

assembly pacbio illumina

Thanks for the tips.

I'm probably gonna use Pilon to polish my assemblies with Illumina reads, in order to get 1 contig.
