Features of this workflow:

  • Comprehensive targeting of DNA and RNA respiratory pathogens and associated AMR markers/alleles that provide known predicted resistance to antimicrobial agents

  • Robust and sensitive detection of low-abundance respiratory pathogen and antimicrobial resistance alleles using various sequencing read lengths and depths

  • Sensitive detection of single or multiple targeted pathogens in low or high complexity samples 

  • Powerful pathogen quantitation using 10 commercially available spike-in controls

Comprehensive genomic coverage of critical viral pathogens

Target enrichment probes and the Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit workflow provide uniform coverage of the two viruses in the panel that are tiled completely with probes.

Sensitive detection of four different pathogens

Using the Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit, pathogens were detectable down to 100 genome copies except for A. fumigatus. Detection of Influenza A was more sensitive and detected to 10 genome copies.

Strong correlation between NGS and qPCR quantitation of viral loads.

The Respiratory Pathogen ID/AMR Panel Kit enables quantitation of pathogen levels using a spiked-in control followed by analysis using the Explify RPIP Data Analysis App. This figure shows a comparison of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in clinical research samples determined by qPCR and NGS. The two methods show significant correlation, Spearman r = 0.87, and importantly, this NGS approach does not require generation of a standard curve like qPCR.

FAQs

Results list targeted respiratory pathogens that have at least the minimum level of support that indicates they may be present in the sample. This decision is based on the pathogen sequence data generated and interpreted based on the number of supporting reads and machine learning.

AMR genes are listed together with the associated bacteria and antibiotics against which they can confer resistance. 

Whole genome information is provided for SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A and B viruses only. Other targeted pathogens are identified based on small, highly informative targeted regions of each genome.

The panel in this kit includes probes that will recognize 10 different commercially available controls. Those controls, however, are not provided as part of this kit and must be purchased separately and then spiked into samples prior to DNA and RNA extraction.  Only one spike-in control is necessary for each experiment/sample. Please contact your Illumina Sales Rep or Tech Support for further information.

We generally recommend starting with 1M single reads, or 2M paired-end reads per sample using a minimum of 1 × 100 bp or 2 × 75 bp sequencing chemistries. These numbers are a starting point and should be optimized based on sample types and target abundance.

Yes. If your experiments can leverage the content and analysis provided by this kit and software, then you can use DNA and RNA extracted from a variety of sample types. Wastewater samples are often tested using this kit for surveillance of respiratory pathogens and their associated AMR. For wasterwater samples, we generally recommend increasing the number of reads to 10M single reads or 20M paired-end reads.
