Identifying AMR genes with nanopore sequencing

Written by Oxford Nanopore

This short video introduces antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and highlights how Oxford Nanopore technology can resolve whole bacterial genomes to find AMR genes within hours. This rapid identification of AMR genes is key to effective surveillance and outbreak control of infectious bacterial diseases.

Below are two resources discussing the use of nanopore sequencing in gaining greater insights into the world of pathogenic microbes:
