Overview

Project title
Serratia and Group B Streptococcus characterisation

People involved
Principal investigator : Dr Clinton Moodley
Students: Kimona Rampersadh (PhD) Dr. Amanda Overmeyer (MMed)
Bioinformatics support team: Katie Lennard

Short description of project
The data analysis will involve WGS de novo and remapping to reference sequences. The genomes generated will need to be annotated, resistance and virulence elements identified, and phylogenetic trees constructed

Objectives
To determine Serratia and GBS resistance genes and virulence factors
