Direct In Vivo Microbial Transcriptomics During Infection

Trends Microbiol. 2018 Sep;26(9):732-735. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2018.07.002. Epub 2018 Jul 31.

Abstract

The challenge in infectious diseases is monitoring infection in the host. Omics-based genomics and transcriptomics can define microbial genes expressed during infection and treatment with antimicrobials. Recent studies pinpoint a direct in situ in vivo approach revolutionizing infection monitoring and optimizing antimicrobial therapy using machine learning.

Keywords: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; in vitro comparisons; in vivo transcription; microbial infections.
