Universal microarray for pattern-based bacterial species identification

ABSTRACT: Microarrays have become a powerful tool for DNA-based molecular diagnostics and identification of pathogens. However, most of them target a limited range of organisms and are generally based on only one or very few genes for organism identification. Although such microarrays are proven tools for species identification, they suffer from the fact that identification is only possible for organisms for which probes were specifically pre-developed. Furthermore, this approach often leads to problems with taxonomic-level resolution with insufficient diagnostic differences between closely related taxa found in the commonly used DNA sequences. An alternative strategy is to use the hybridisation pattern generated by many different anonymous markers distributed over the entire genome for identificati
