Microbial Whole Genome Sequencing

Microbial Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is a high-resolution genomic analysis method that sequences the complete DNA of microbial isolates, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This test enables:
Accurate species identification and strain typing
Detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and virulence factors
Phylogenetic and epidemiological analysis to track outbreaks and transmission
Comparative genomics for research, surveillance, and clinical decision-making

Sample Requirements: High-quality genomic DNA from isolates, meeting concentration and purity specifications.
Clinical and Research Applications:
Infection control and outbreak investigation
Antimicrobial stewardship programs
Research in microbial evolution and population genetics
