Clinical applications of molecular biology to diagnostic microbiology.
new techniques. The fact is that many bacterial pathogens are easy to culture within one to two days, with the added advantage that this confirms viability and can be followed by antibiotic sensitivity testing. The situation is rather different in a virology laboratory, where culture takes longer or is impossible, and sensitivity testing is not such an issue. It is not surprising, therefore, th...
متن کاملApplications of flow cytometry to clinical microbiology.
Classical microbiology techniques are relatively slow in comparison to other analytical techniques, in many cases due to the need to culture the microorganisms. Furthermore, classical approaches are difficult with unculturable microorganisms. More recently, the emergence of molecular biology techniques, particularly those on antibodies and nucleic acid probes combined with amplification techniq...
متن کاملApplications of Flow Cytometry to Clinical Microbiology
Microbiology in general and clinical microbiology in particular have witnessed important changes during the last few years. Traditional methods of bacteriology and mycology require the isolation of the organism prior to identification and other possible testing. In most cases, culture results are available in 48 to 72 h. Virus isolation in cell cultures and detection of specific antibodies have...
متن کاملSynthetic biology applications in industrial microbiology
With the ability to perform a multitude of unique and complex chemical transformations, microorganisms have long been the “workhorses” of many industrial processes. However, in addition to exploiting the utility of naturally evolved phenotypes, the principles, strategies, and tools of synthetic biology are now being applied to facilitate the engineering of tailor-mademicrobes capable of tacklin...
متن کاملClinical Relevance of Molecular Microbiology
Molecular methods for the detection and characterization of microorganisms have transformed diagnostic microbiology. Detection of microorganisms was previously laborious and time taking by conventional microbiological methods but now more rapid detection by molecular methods is possible for pathogens of public health importance. Detection of antimicrobial resistance genes and their characteriza...
