Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a rapid and cost-efficient sequencing method that can identify antibiotic resistance within the same working day. The technique, called s5PSeq, ...

Pattern Bioscience, an innovator in rapid diagnostic technologies for bacterial infections, today announced that more than 1,000 samples have been enrolled in its ongoing multi-center U.S. clinical ...

McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria—and determining which antibiotics can stop them—in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb ...

The global issue of antimicrobial resistance has been called a “slow motion catastrophe” resulting from the excessive and often inappropriate use of antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. 1 A long ...

Infectious diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, and diagnosing bacterial infections remains a challenge in medicine ...

Research published in ACS Central Science could help healthcare professionals non-invasively diagnose bacterial infections, using breath-based tests.

Biofilm of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Rod-shaped and spherical bacteria. E. coli, Pseudomonas, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA. 3D illustration ...

Researchers have developed new methods to test food for bacterial contamination that are faster and do not require expert ...

Researchers have developed a measurement technique that rapidly measures the number of viable bacteria in food products. They have succeeded in drastically reducing the inspection time from 2 days to ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria ...
