Microbes and DNA
Agarose gels indicate 60 of the microbes that we can identify by their DNA. The brightness of the band indicates a higher amount of the microbe’s DNA that was present in the sample. This brightness gives an idea of how badly the patient is infected with a particular pathogen. The brightest bands represent an overwhelming infection process. The brightness of the band (amount of the microbe), the virulence of the microbe (how deadly it is), and other factors yields a pathogenicity value for each pathogen which indicates which microbe(s) should be targeted for therapy first . The general description, symptoms of infection and current CDC treatment recommendations are included in the report for each microbe.
