Nifty new technique for identifying bacterial--and maybe other microbes--strains in samples. If identification was fast, simple, and cheap, doctors might use it more often, to check a patient's microbiomes. Some non-microbe-related diseases might have distinct microbiome patterns. It would probably improve the accuracy of testing for microbial infections too.
