In a paper published online this week the scientists reported the development of a rapid susceptibility test for Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that causes some 60 percent of hospital-acquired ...

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 ...

This article originally appeared on Undark. More than a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, efficient testing for the coronavirus remains relevant as variants spread and vaccinations have been slow to ...

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 ...

While clinical microbiology laboratories are pivotal in the identification and handling of infectious diseases, the microbiology lab environment is rapidly changing. Conventional testing methods are ...

In a recent study posted to Research Square*, researchers developed and tested a machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) to predict antibiotic resistance. Study: Predicting ...

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 ...

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 ...

Applying a Novel Microplate Photometer for the Assessment of Bacterial Growth As commonly prescribed treatments for bacterial infection, antibiotics are substances or compounds that kill (bactericidal ...
