American Society for Microbiology
Expand your pathogen detection offerings with cutting-edge qPCR assays!
ASM Microbe gathered thousands of microbiology researchers and healthcare professionals to discuss the latest innovations and challenges in molecular diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance research, phage therapy, artificial intelligence, climate change, antimicrobial drug discovery, bioeconomy, and more. We shared a new high-throughput assay that detects elusive pathogens commonly missed by standard microbiological culture and biochemical tests.
Poster presentation
A high-throughput qPCR assay panel for rapid detection of pathogens in urinary tract infections and beyond
With this poster, Dr. Jonathan Wang presented our new high-throughput qPCR assay panel, which leverages a new computational design pipeline to produce more than 80 hydrolysis-probe-based assays. This technology significantly expands the current range of detectable pathogens to include slow-growing and difficult-to-culture pathogens that common urine tests fail to detect.
