Molecular Testing in Microbiology
There are significant challenges associated with qualitative and quantitative nucleic acid tests performed in diagnostic laboratories. The development of internationally available certified reference materials which can be traced to reference measurements will contribute to a better understanding of the performance characteristics of nucleic acid tests and enhance reliability and comparability ...
متن کاملFood Safety in the Age of Next Generation Sequencing, Bioinformatics, and Open Data Access
Public health labs and food regulatory agencies globally are embracing whole genome sequencing (WGS) as a revolutionary new method that is positioned to replace numerous existing diagnostic and microbial typing technologies with a single new target: the microbial draft genome. The ability to cheaply generate large amounts of microbial genome sequence data, combined with emerging policies of foo...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequencing of a Clinically Isolated Antibiotic-Resistant Enterococcus faecium EntfacYE
Background and Objective: Enterococcal infections are considered the most common nosocomial infections. Nowadays, enterococci show high resistance to common antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is one of the most common nosocomial infections, which is included in the World Health Organization priority pathogens list for research and development of new an...

Biological weapons are assigned high priority in homeland security, defence, counterproliferation, nonproliferation, intelligence, and counterterrorist programmes. In order to strengthen active defense against development and use of these weapons, several comprehensive technological and forensic capabilities have been developed world over for investigative, intelligence, prosecutive, diplomatic...
متن کاملWhole genome sequencing (WGS) for food-borne pathogen surveillance and control – taking the pulse
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is transforming microbiology [1]. With the increased accessibility and decrease in the costs of sequencing and the optimisation of the ‘wet laboratory’ components of NGS i.e. the quality and throughput of DNA extraction, library preparation and sequencing reactions, whole genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial isolates is rapidly revolutionising clinical and publi...
