The recent emergence of bacterial infections that are resistant to many existing antibiotics is driving an urgent need for tools to quickly identify the small number of therapies that are still ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mayo Clinic and Adaptive Phage Therapeutics (APT) today announced a collaboration to advance and commercialize a phage susceptibility test (PST) linked exclusively ...

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harbouring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

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 ...

A research team from McGill University has developed a diagnostic system that can identify bacteria, but also determine the antibiotics likely to neutralize them, all in just 36 minutes. This is a ...

Researchers have sequenced an ice cave bacterial strain, contributing to our understanding of antimicrobial resistance.
