The company has automated sample prep and bioinformatic analysis to make whole-genome sequencing affordable and scalable for clinical microbiology.
Whole-Genome Sequencing Approach Enables Simultaneous Surveillance of Hospital-Associated Pathogens
Premium
Described in a proof-of-concept study, the method demonstrated the potential utility of pan-pathogen sequencing for monitoring hospital-associated infections.
Diasorin Nabs FDA De Novo Clearance for Candida Auris Assay
The firm said that the test can be used to help prevent and control the spread of the fungal pathogen, which is a common cause of hospital-acquired infections.
Patient Microbiome Most Common Source of Surgical Infections, Sequencing Study Suggests
Researchers narrowed in on patient microbiome sources for most surgical site infections and antibiotic resistant microbes, providing clues for preventing future infections.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh described their real-time whole-genome sequencing surveillance workflow as well as its associated costs in a preprint last month.
