In clinical microbiology, sequence analysis can lead to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. In forensics, DNA samples are identified rapidly and with confidence.
Fast results are often a critical factor.
Isolates containing H. pylori were correctly identified and the results were confirmed by biochemical typing. Click to enlarge. With conventional techniques it can take days to identify or characterize bacteria or viruses. The simplicity and reliability of Pyrosequencing can shorten this to a few hours. We get much faster results compared to our existing techniques and they are more easily interpreted.
