Information about the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) services offered by Poulpharm.
What is NGS?
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a technology capable of determining the complete DNA/RNA sequence of an organism’s genome, offering a comprehensive view of pathogens. This advanced method enables faster, more accurate diagnostics, and supports improved treatment outcomes.
BENEFITS OF NGS:
Enhanced strain differentiation: Differentiate strains/vaccines where conventional methods fail + get info on gene sequence similarity.
Enhanced Pathogen Identification: Identify simultaneously multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic species.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Virulence gene Profiling: Detect resistance genes and virulence genes to guide tailored treatment or vaccination plans.
Outbreak Investigation: Pinpoint the source of infections when other methods fail, aiding in containment.
Data-Driven Insights: Access detailed reports with actionable information for clinical decision-making.
BENEFITS OF WHAT DO WE OFFER:
Bacterial whole genome sequencing (WGS) on isolates: AMR, virulence genes, bacterial strain/vaccine differentiation.
Bacterial 16S sequencing of field samples: Identify the most abundant bacteria present in your sample.
Viral WGS on isolates: Viral strain/vaccine differentiation
NGS on non-specific field samples: Identify most abundant pathogens/species in your sample.
Why Choose Poulpharm?
With our experienced team and state-of-the-art equipment, we are committed to deliver fast and reliable results. We have veterinary experts and molecular experts closely working together.
By integrating NGS into our molecular services, we empower veterinarians with the tools to provide the highest standard of care.
How to get started?
Our experts will help you in deciding which analysis will fit your purpose and how you can collect the necessary samples to get a high qualitative analysis.
NGS relies on having sufficient quantity and quality of genetic material. Kindly ensure that samples are collected during the acute phase of the disease and are handled and shipped at frozen temperatures. The turnaround time can be discussed with our veterinary experts.
