Researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called Optical Nanomotion Detection, is extremely ...

The field of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and resistance detection is rapidly evolving to address the global threat posed by antimicrobial resistance. In recent years, a ...

The threat of antibiotic-resistant strains of infection is an escalating global health concern and improved targeting of antibiotics is crucial in reducing the spread of resistance. Current ...

At the core of the antibiotic-resistance crisis is the lack of a rapid and general antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) that can assess the infecting pathogen's sensitivity to antibiotics and thus ...

Bacteria are everywhere, and while many are harmless and some are even beneficial, pathogenic bacteria present an increasing threat to human health. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem, ...

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 ...

Accelerate PhenoTest BC Kit The blood culture kit can simultaneously detect and identify 14 different species of bacteria and two species of yeast that cause bloodstream infections, while also ...

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 ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday launched a new website aimed at improving access to information that can help healthcare professionals determine which drugs are most likely to ...

“We have developed a technique in our laboratories that allows us to obtain an antibiogram within 2-4 hours – instead of the current 24 hours for the most common germs and one month for tuberculosis,” ...
