Medical Microbiology Using Metagenomics and Genomics
Author(s): Mildred Cho*
Medical microbiology has undergone a transformative paradigm shift with the advent of metagenomics and genomics technologies. These cuttingedge approaches have revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities within the human body, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the vast genetic diversity present in various ecosystems. Metagenomics, in particular, involves the direct study of genetic material recovered from environmental samples, without the need for prior cultivation of individual microorganisms. In the context of medical microbiology, metagenomics has been instrumental in unraveling the complex microbial ecosystems associated with the human microbiome. This includes the exploration of microbial communities in diverse niches such as the gastrointestinal tract, skin, respiratory system, and other bodily sites. By employing highthroughput sequencing technologies, rese.. Read More»
