The paper describes various challenges arising from the process of designing a benchmark strategy for bioinformatics pipelines (2) in the identification of
antimicrobial resistance genes in next generation sequencing data.
«Multidrug resistant typhoid has been coming and going since the 1970s and is caused by the bacteria picking up
novel antimicrobial resistance genes, which are usually lost when we switch to a new drug,» says Dr Kathryn Holt, senior author from the University of Melbourne.
This presentation will review methods for which Nanopore sequencing and real - time
antimicrobial resistance gene analysis can help to address the threat of CRO as a diagnostic tool in the Medical Microbiology Laboratory.
«Multidrug resistant typhoid has been coming and going since the 1970s and is caused by the bacteria picking up

These antimicrobial resistance genes are obtained in different ways.
The findings thus challenge the generally held perception that wastewater treatment plants are hotbeds for the spread of
antimicrobial resistance genes.
A Mailman study of New York City mice found that they harbor multiple pathogenic bacteria, including some with an array of
antimicrobial resistance genes.
Rapidly find and highlight genes of interest including virulence factors and
antimicrobial resistance genes.
Early insights into the potential of the Oxford Nanopore MinION for the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes
Antimicrobial resistance genes can be carried on plasmids or on mobile elements integrated into the chromosome.
