Project partner Heidelberg University Hospital Future prospects ince the field of se uencing technology is advancing very dynamically, we are working on transporting the technique to various sequencing platforms in order to be able to reduce the time from sample to result even further. With several of these platforms, the diagnosis time will soon be driven down to six or eight hours, offering a crucial advantage for patient man- agement. A larger multi-center validation study in partnership with renowned clinics is also being planned for 2016. The methodology additionally has the potential of being employed with other infectious and difficult-to-diagnose diseases 1 Intensive care station. 2 Scanning electron micrograph of Escherichia coli. 3 Parallel nucleic acid sequencer at Fraunhofer IGB. 2 3 Phone +49711970-4078 Phone +49711970-4055 23
