Antibiotikaresistente Infektionen stellen eine immer größer werdende Bedrohung dar. Anstatt Bakterien klassisch zu kultivieren und ihre Reaktion auf Antibiotika zu testen, analysieren Labore zunehmend das bakterielle Erbgut, um frühzeitig Resistenzen zu identifizieren. Aus den DNA-Sequenzen des Erregers können Forschende ableiten, über welche Resistenzmechanismen er verfügen könnte und anschließend wirksame Behandlungsmöglichkeiten vorschlagen.
