This compilation of webinars touch on the various human diseases are most commonly attributed to the subject matter of microbiology, as well as the many microbes that are also responsible for numerous beneficial processes.
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
The ongoing research and scientific debate on pathophysiology, classification, nomenclature and diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome illustrates the complexity of cellular membranes, their...
Males and females differ in their immunological responses to viral and vaccine antigens, with females typically mounting higher immune responses than males. These sex-based immunological diff...
Existing methods for antibiotic selection are based on outdated and inaccurate microbiological principles, causing millions of inappropriate antibiotic selections and hundreds of thousands o...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has elevated the need for reliable, cost-effective means for widespread virus detection. This webinar will explore two distinct approaches for isolating viral R...
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
PacBio Sequencing has been recognized as the gold standard in microbial sequencing due to simultaneously providing long sequence reads (genome contiguity), high consensus accuracy (genome acc...
Every day in America nearly seven thousand people die. That’s about two and a half million deaths per year. When a death is violent, unexpected, medically unattended, or suspicious &nd...
For academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical scientists who are screening clones or performing high throughput protein purification, the goal is to automate the sample processing without sacrifi...
Genetic Molecular Surveillance is a key component of a modern public health toolkit. This talk will detail the molecular microbial make up of urban environments. It will discuss how these en...
The WHO has set ambitious targets for eliminating TB in low-incidence countries such as the US and Canada. While it’s true that the majority of TB cases in these settings arise from rea...
Traditional pathogen detection methods rely on the identification of pathogens known to be associated with a particular syndrome. In many cases, it involves complex methodology, lengthy proce...
This two-part webinar will focus on novel techniques for obtaining unbiased results in 16S rRNA gene sequencing of challenging microbiome samples. Part 1 will feature QIAGEN’s solutions...
In all organisms, innate immune pathways sense infection and rapidly activate potent immune responses while maintaining a high degree of specificity to prevent inappropriate activation (auto...
Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection......
Flaviviruses are pathogens of global public health concern. They include dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV), and zika virus (ZIKV). There are no approved US Food and Drug Administrat...
The postmortem microbiome is an emerging field in forensic science with broad application for death investigation (e.g., time since death). While the foundation for forensic microbiology beg...
DiseaseLand is an integrated genomics database and visualization software that helps researchers explore 1000s of public and private datasets covering, but not limited to therapeutic areas su...
The bacterium Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii causes Stewart’s wilt disease in corn and serves as a model for other xylem-dwelling phytopathogens. P. stewartii is transmitted to plan...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has long been recognized as an important source of genetic diversity. In the clinical setting, HGT plays an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistanc...
Background: In March 2014, a molecular cluster of five multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by the Austrian National Reference Laboratory. An investigation was initiate...
MVRSION is a bench and informatic system which employs simultaneous weighted analysis eight of nine 16S hyper variable regions. We use Fluidigm Juno to amplify and index the these regions in...
The efficacy of current influenza antiviral drugs is compromised by emerging drug resistance. To address this unmet medical need, we have made progress in developing novel influenza antiviral...
INTRODUCTION: The recent coincidental emergence of the human microbiota and the Hologneomic Theory of Co-evolution unmasked the “Dual Citizenship” of symbiotic microbes and...
We currently do not have effective vaccines or antiviral drugs for most of the viral diseases that afflict humans. Antiviral therapies that enable long-term control over human immunodeficien...
Clostridium difficile is a major pathogen responsible for infectious diarrhea in healthcare settings. This presentation will review the data from a study comparing the new Simplexa® C. di...
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
