Rapid identification of pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and plasmids in blood cultures by nanopore sequencing
6 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Bloodstream infections (BSI) and sepsis are major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Blood culture-based diagnostics usually requires 1–2 days for identification of bacterial agent and an additional 2–3 days for phenotypic determination of antibiotic susceptibility pattern. With the escalating burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rapid diagnostics becomes increasingly important to secure...
