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 ...

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 developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called Optical Nanomotion Detection, is extremely ...

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 ...

At the core of the antibiotic-resistance crisis is the lack of a rapid and general antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) that can assess the infecting pathogen's sensitivity to antibiotics and thus ...

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 ...

Lara Marks has received funding from the Medical Research Council and from the Biotechnology and Medicine Education Trust, a UK registered charity, Registered Charity Number 1165469. Ankur Mutreja has ...

Imagine going to the hospital for a bacterial ear infection and hearing your doctor say, "We're out of options." It may sound ...

Four major trends that will shape how we as a society will confront antibiotic resistance in the coming decade.

Selux Diagnostics Inc. received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its next generation phenotyping (NGP) system, a rapid antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) platform that determines a bacteria’s ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...
