Kat Steinke,Karina Gravgaard Thomsen,Silje Vermedal Hoegh et al.
Kat Steinke et al.
Background. Whole-genome sequencing of bacterial isolates is increasingly becoming routine in clinical microbiology; however, subsequent analysis often needs to be started by a bioinformatician even for comprehensive pipelines. To increase ...
Antimicrobial effect of blue light on antibiotic-sensitive and drug-resistant Escherichia coli: a novel isotropic optical fibre [0.03%]
