Whole-Genome Sequencing Accurately Identifies Resistance to Extended-Spectrum β-Lactams for Major Gram-Negative Bacterial Pathogens
27 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Background: There is marked interest in using DNA-based methods to detect antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches increasingly being incorporated into clinical care. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) could offer significant advantages over targeted PCR for AMR detection, particularly for species where mutations are major drivers of AMR. Methods: Illumina MiSeq WGS and...
