Researchers at EPFL and Vrije Universiteit Brussel have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called ...

Investigators at the Israel Institute for Biological Research have developed a rapid AST that can be performed directly on blood and environmental soil samples. 2,3 In a recent study, the ...

Researchers have presented a new method for measuring how effectively antibiotics kill bacteria. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are one of the biggest health problems of our time. Due to mutations, ...

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 ...

Significant time is needed to determine the drug susceptibility profile of a bacterial infection. Now, researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology and collaborating partners have ...

The new research shows that there are useful antibiotics hiding in plain sight (Photo by Becker & Bredel/ullstein bild via Getty Images) We are running out of new antibiotics that can be used to treat ...

“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,” ...
