Oligonucleotide and DNA Microarrays: Versatile Tools for Rapid Bacterial Diagnostics

摘要: The rapid and unambiguous detection identification of microorganisms, historically a major challenge clinical microbiology, gained additional importance in the fields public health biodefence. These requirements cannot be well addressed by classical culture-based approaches. Therefore, wide range molecular approaches has been suggested. Microarrays are tools that can used for simultaneous microorganisms environmental samples. Main advantages microarrays high throughput, parallelism miniaturization system. Furthermore, they allow both specificity sensitivity detection.
