Bacteria producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and plasmidic AmpC (pAmpC) as well as carbapenemases were screened. Whole genome sequencing was used to determine resistance and virulence ...

Amplicon-based sequencing approaches have been widely adopted for routine microbiology applications, including targeted 16S rRNA for bacterial taxonomic classification and tiled multiplex PCR for ...

Regardless of the consequence of a point mutation, its maintenance in the resulting genome may imply a selective ... into the evolutionary pressures on bacterial pathogens.

Over 11,000 human specimens were obtained. Scientists then purified and sequenced the DNA from them and used information from the bacterially-encoded 16S ribosomal RNA gene to identify and quantify ...

Probiotics offer a range of health benefits, but their adverse effects can occasionally lead to bacteremia, wherein bacteria circulate ... five cases (0.08%). Whole-genome sequencing revealed ...

Of these, 814 underwent whole-genome sequencing (WGS ... rupellensis markedly increased weight and fat accumulation. The bacteria break down myo-inositol, a substance that successfully prevents ...

Scientists have used a device that fits in the palm of the hand to sequence the human genome. They say the feat, detailed in the journal Nature Biotechnology, opens up exciting possibilities for ...

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses someone's entire genetic code - all 3.2 billion letters that make up their DNA. Cancer patients have: the baseline "healthy" genome they inherited from both ...
