GENETIC RESISTANCE TESTING

摘要

The embodiments relate to a method of determining an antibiotic resistance profile for a bacterial microorganism and to a method of determining the resistance of a bacterial microorganism to an antibiotic drug, wherein the bacterial microorganism belongs to the species Escherichia coli (E. coli). The method includes determining a nucleic acid sequence information or determining the presence of a mutation of at least one gene.

主权项

1. A method of determining an antibiotic resistance profile for a bacterial microorganism belonging to the species E. coli comprising the steps of
a) providing a sample containing or suspected of containing the bacterial microorganism; b) determining the presence of a mutation in at least one gene of the bacterial microorganism selected from the group of genes listed in Table 4; wherein the presence of a mutation is indicative of a resistance to an antibiotic drug.
