Real-time infectious disease outbreak investigations with nanopore sequencing and BugSeq analysis
Webinar overview
Infectious disease outbreaks continue to pose significant challenges to public health, and solutions are needed that enable real-time, comprehensive genomic characterisation of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance.
In this webinar, we will hear from medical microbiologists sharing their experiences detecting and tracking bacterial outbreaks by implementing real-time sequencing with Oxford Nanopore and analysis with BugSeq, as an end to end solution. Discover how rapid, accessible sequencing and analysis in microbiology laboratories enables swift and accurate investigation of bacterial community clusters, antimicrobial resistance profiling, and contributes to outbreak management.
Please note, this webinar will be broadcast at 3pm (BST)/10am (EST)
