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 ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to the health and safety of the world’s population. The World Health Organisation recognizes faster, more accurate laboratory detection of antimicrobial ...

The platform uses impedance flow cytometry to measure the electrical properties of bacteria that have been plated from a positive blood culture sample.

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 at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, have developed an innovative and affordable microfluidic device that can rapidly determine whether bacteria are resistant or ...

Experts at the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST), who define the optimal drug concentrations to inhibit the growth of pathogens, have found that genetic methods ...
