Next-generation sequencing applications in clinical bacteriology

Publication date: December 2017Source: Biomolecular Detection and Quantification, Volume 14Author(s): Yair Motro, Jacob Moran-GiladAbstractWith the rapid advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, clinical and public health microbiology laboratories are increasingly adopting NGS technology in their workflows into their existing diagnostic cycles. In this bacteriology focused review, we review aspects and considerations for applying NGS in the clinical microbiology settings, and highlight the impact of such implementation on the analytical and post-analytical stages of diagnosis
