Classification, identification and subtyping of bacteria based on pyrosequencing and signature matching of 16S rDNA fragments

Abstract excerpt

The rapid identification of the etiological agent of microbial infections can bring about both clinical and financial benefits. Thus, fast and generally applicable classification methods are needed that will enable us to rapidly distinguish pathogenic bacteria from commensals or saprophytic bacteria found in the same habitat. We here show that provisional classification of bacterial isolates can be performed on a...
