Summary
The advantages of a nucleic acid-based technique, such asPCR, are numerous and include speed, sensitivity and specificity. However, PCRhas its own challenges in that it is limited by pathogens that can be detectedin a single reaction. To address that concern, UGA researchers have developed aNext Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based diagnostic panel that is able to detectthe presence of 45 different pathogens using target-specific primers forPCR-mediated amplification. This multiplex panel has been validated usingclinical samples that were subsequently tested with commonly used diagnostictechniques. These results confirm thevalidity of using NGS-based techniques in veterinary diagnostics.
