Using oligonucleotide signatures to build a system for effective detection of pathogenic bacteria in metagenomic samples

Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for millions of deaths every year with an estimated mortality of 70 million people by 2010 for Mycobacterium tuberculosis alone. Novel methods for identification of bacterial species in hosts, urban environments, water sources and food stuffs are required to advan...
