Shоrt Essаy Questiоn (100-200 wоrds, 8-12 sentences, 1-2 pаrаgraphs) You work for an IVD company that is developing a diagnostic test for bacterial identification in urine samples so that people with urinary tract infections can get the right antibiotic to kill their infection. Without knowing the identity of the bacteria infecting a urinary tract, physicians must guess at the correct antibiotic rather than prescribing one that is known to be effective. Your team has decided that doing a multiplexed PCR assay testing for the different genes of 10 bacterial species is the right approach. In order to run PCR on these genes, your team first needs to do sample preparation and get the DNA out of the urine into a clean buffer so that PCR can work. Describe the steps/processes of how you would do sample preparation for this application. In the context of your discussion, also include answers to the following: i) What preservative(s) would you add to the lysate and what would this preservative do? ii) What are some ways you can lyse or break open cells to release the DNA from bacteria cells? iii) What does the phrase “garbage in, garbage out” mean in the context of sample preparation?
