Rapid bacterial identification by direct PCR amplification of 16S rRNA genes using the MinION <sup>TM</sup> nanopore sequencer
2018-10-05
Abstract excerpt
Rapid identification of bacterial pathogens is crucial for appropriate and adequate antibiotic treatment, which significantly improves patient outcomes. 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing has proven to be a powerful strategy for diagnosing bacterial infections. We have recently established a sequencing method and bioinformatics pipeline for 16S rRNA gene analysis utilizing the Oxford Nanopore Techno...
