Genome sequencing | German Center for Infection Research

Short description

Genome sequencing is the determination of the sequence of a genome, which is the complete inheritable information.

Detailed description

Genome sequencing is, for example, a tool in research to investigate outbreaks. In medicine, too, genome sequencing is more and more used. This allows using respective data in personalized medicine to make individual therapy decisions.

MiFactR—Microbiota- and treatment-derived determinants of antibiotic resistance

There are a number of factors responsible for the development of antibiotic resistance. So far, the interactions between pathogens and the complex microbial colonisation (microbiota) of the human body under the selection pressure of antibiotic treatment play a little studied and underestimated role ...

Development of a new prophylactic vaccine against Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori is one of the top 10 bacterial threats listed by the WHO, for which treatment is becoming increasingly difficult due to rising antibiotic resistance. More than half of the world's population is chronically infected with this bacterium. H. pylori is a recognised class I carcinogen ...
