In MYCO-NET² screening methods for early diagnostics and detection of pyrazinamide (PZA) resistance will be developed, using state-of-art nanotechnology, Raman spectroscopy, Lab-on-a-Chip-Devices, genomics, high throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics.
The consortium combines unique knowledge on pathogen distribution and resistance mechanisms, which will help to find factors critical for improved intervention strategies. In this way, the initiative will have a long-lasting effect on strengthening scientific and cultural ties between South American and European institutions.
