The method to determine the species of bacterial strains of staphylococcus

DNA
Prof. Roman Kotłowski, D.Sc., from Gdańsk University of Technology and Prof. Katarzyna Garbach, MD, Ph.D., together with Ewa Kwapisz, MD, Ph.D.,  from the Medical University of Gdańsk, developed a method that allows to determine the species of bacterial strains of the genus staphylococcus. Thanks to this precise description of the species, a patient infected with staphylococcus can be treated more effectively by combining information about the structure of the bacterial cell wall and drug resistance.

The bacteria were classified as staphylococcus, however the doctors from MUG needed more detailed information on the species of bacteria obtained from the patient.
