Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for diagnosing urinary tract infections that significantly accelerates antibiotic resistance testing in urine. Because ...

Current methods for assessing antibiotic resistance typically rely on bacterial cultures, a process that can take up to 2 days. Such delays can be critical in urgent clinical settings. To address this ...

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 ...

A recent Lancet Microbe study investigated the accuracy of antibiotic resistance determination from Enterococcus faecium genomes for diagnostic purposes. Study: Antibiotic resistance determination ...

Each year at least 2 million Americans are infected with bacteria that cannot be treated with antibiotics, and at least 23,000 of these people die, according to the Centers for Disease Control. These ...
