Part Descriptions
LP105045-1 Acinetobacter sp
Acinetobacter is a group of gram negative bacteria found in soil and water and a common source of infection in patients, primarily in intensive care units and healthcare settings with very ill patients. Among the Acinetobacter species, Acinetobacter baumannii accounts for about 80% of reported infections. Symptoms range from pneumonia to serious blood or wound infections. Acinetobacter-related infections rarely occur outside of healthcare settings. Acinetobacter species are resistant to many classes of antibiotics, so treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis.

LP150045-5 Sequencing
Sequencing is a method used to determine the sequence of individual genes, larger genetic regions (i.e. clusters of genes or operons), full chromosomes or entire genomes. Historically, most sequencing has been performed using the chain termination method developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977. PMID: 271968 Sequencing technologies have improved dramatically, making them cheaper, faster, and more accurate. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, deep sequencing, and second-generation sequencing, is a type of technology that uses parallel sequencing of multiple small fragments of DNA to determine sequence. This "high-throughput" technology has increased the speed and amount of DNA sequenced at a significantly reduced cost. PMID: 18576944 Several NGS platforms (ie, sequencing instruments and associated reagents) have been developed. Third-generation sequencing is another methodology currently under development that uses parallel sequencing similar to NGS. In contrast to NGS, third-generation sequencing uses single DNA molecules rather than amplified DNA as a template. PMID: 20858600
