  1. 1. Epidemiology and genotyping of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with amplicon-based Nanopore-sequencing : Creating a panel of clinically relevant genes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Max Koivistoinen Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Amplicon-sequencing; Genomic typing; MRSA; MSSA; MinION;

    Abstract : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a variant of the more common Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), an opportunistic pathogen a portion of the human population carries as normal bacterial flora. When an outbreak of MRSA occurs, it is often important to determine if and how these strains are related to each other. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of the Oxford Nanopore Minion for the identification and differentiation of MRSA and non-MRSA isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Kristoffer Nilsson Grimstad; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus are bacterial pathogens causing infectious diseases. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, or MRSA, carry the mecA or mecC genes generating resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. MRSA is problematic to treat and crucial to rapidly detect while current diagnostic workflows are time-consuming. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of Oxford nanopore’s MinION : Use, functionality, and genome assembly

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : John Baxter; [2019]
    Keywords : MinION; Genome; Klebsiella; NGS;

    Abstract : The rapid and reliable detection of pathogens is of utmost importance in healthcare settings to ensure the appropriate treatment thereby reducing morbidity and mortality for the patient. Current culturing, PCR based and NGS species detection methods are time consuming (Opota et al., 2015), limited in their detection (Buckley et al. READ MORE

  5. 4. Detection and characterization of genomic regions associated to Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Great Danes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ana Letícia Kolicheski; [2012]
    Keywords : Great Dane; DCM; cardiomyopathy; dog; GWAS;

    Abstract : Canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a lethal myocardial disease prevalent in large and giant-sized dog breeds, including the Great Dane (GD). The goal of this study was to identify genetic risk factors for DCM and to contribute to a future development of DCM genetic markers in order to facilitate disease diagnosis and risk allele detection.
