BACKGROUND Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is revolutionizing a variety of molecular
biology fields including bioforensics, biosurveillance, and infectious disease diagnostics. For …

Background Global efforts to characterize diseases of poverty are hampered by lack of
affordable and comprehensive detection platforms, resulting in suboptimal allocation of …

Next-generation sequencing is rapidly finding footholds in numerous microbiological fields,
including infectious disease diagnostics. Here, we describe a molecular inversion probe …

This review describes the application of oligonucleotides, which are mainly obtained using
DNA synthesizers of a new generation (microarray DNA synthesizers), for the enrichment of …

BACKGROUND As approximately 19% of global deaths are attributable to infectious
diseases, early diagnosis of infection is very important to reduce mortality. Traditional …

Development and implementation of rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing is critical for
guiding patient care and improving clinical outcomes, especially in cases of sepsis. One …

Deep targeted sequencing technologies are still not widely used in clinical practice due to
the complexity of the methods and their cost. The Molecular Inversion Probes (MIP) …

Rapid and simple detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is important
to manage infection and prevent the spread of these bacteria. In this work, we utilize pH …
