Resisting Antibiotic Resistance: Superbugs Explained
Переглядів 1754 роки тому
Antibiotic resistance mechanisms allow bacteria to resist the effect of antibiotics and evolve into superbugs. The phenomenon of antibiotic resistance poses a serious threat to our generation, as some conventional antibiotics are unsuccessful in inhibiting the growth of resistant bacteria. A simple yet sophisticated process, antibiotic resistance is the focus of major research efforts! In this ...
Tracking Foodborne Pathogens Using Whole Genome Sequencing
Переглядів 7494 роки тому
The ability to track down foodborne pathogens is crucial for maintaining food safety, and whole-genome sequencing can help! In this video, we present how whole genome sequencing is used to track and control foodborne pathogens in a food processing environment. We provide an example of tracking Listeria monocytogenes in a cheese facility, but the concepts can be applied to any foodborne pathogen...

What's kit used in this video?
Hello i like this video, but what is about that we aren't more passed reads?
Hi, is the sequencer reusable and the flow cells are to be changed regularly or both needs to be changed?
The sequencer itself is reusable. However, the flow cells used in nanopore sequencing need to be changed regularly. Flow cells can be washed and made reusable with the help of wash kits. The number of times a flow cell can be reused depends on various factors, including the initial quality of the flow cell and the length of sequencing runs performed on it, etc.
