WOBURN, MASS, May 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - PathoGenetix™ Inc., a commercial-stage developer of an automated system for rapid bacterial identification, presented new research this week demonstrating the use of its Genome Sequence Scanning™ (GSS™) technology to confirm and strain type pathogenic bacteria. The research shows that GSS could be used to identify foodborne pathogens of increasing concern in food safety, in one study identifying STECs (Shigatoxin-producing E. coli) serotypes with the more dangerous “virulence” genes, and in another study not only differentiating L. monocytogenes among the general Listeria species, but even identifying its strains. The study findings were detailed in two posters presented on Monday at the 2014 General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Boston.
