Enriching Microbiology

Exploring Microbial Genomes from difficult-to-culture bacteria

Unraveling the genomic mysteries of fastidious bacteria at University of Zurich's Institute of Medical Microbiology

Our Research Enriching Microbiology

We use target enrichment to capture the whole genomes of difficult-to-culture sexually transmitted bacteria directly from clinical samples
