Researchers at UC San Diego are perfecting a new technique to determine antibiotic susceptibility. Time is of the essence where bacterial infections are involved. The sooner a clinician knows what ...

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 ...

Expanding access to advanced PCR thermocyclers, DNA & RNA purification systems, and hematology analyzers for modern clinical ...

The plaque assay was first described for titration of bacterial inoculums and clonal isolation, and was later adapted for testing antibiotics susceptibility and to study virulence factors and motility ...

A team of biologists and biomedical researchers has developed a new method to determine if bacteria are susceptible to antibiotics within a few hours, an advance that could slow the appearance of drug ...

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

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 ...
