GENOMIC APPROACH TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF BIOMARKERS FOR ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY IN CLINICAL ISOLATES OF BACTERIAL PATHOGENS

摘要

In certain embodiments, the present invention concerns genotypic identification of bacteria that are resistant to a bacteria and subsequent determination of an appropriate therapy. In specific embodiments, a high-throughput genotypic detection method for biomarkers for antibiotic resistance and susceptibility allows efficient prescription practice and increases the likelihood of a successful therapeutic outcome. In certain embodiments, the information from the genotypic detection method is utilized for determining antibiotics that should be avoided or, alternatively, employed.
