Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a rapid and cost-efficient sequencing method that can identify antibiotic ...

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 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 ...

Researchers in Israel have developed a method of restoring antibiotic sensitivity, which could help fight hospital superbugs, according to research published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.

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, ...

A research team led by University of Arkansas chemist Jingyi Chen and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences microbiologist Mark Smeltzer has developed an alternative therapeutic approach to ...

Metagenomic libraries have been prepared to screen for the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in tiny environmental samples. Scientists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign College of ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern that threatens our ability to prevent and treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. To better monitor the emergence and spread of resistance, ...

“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,” ...
