Newly Developed Immunoassay Evaluated for Infectious Diseases
Although a diagnosis of infectious diseases is essential for timely treatment, the performance of diagnostic tests has been hardly evaluated due to variable results that are influenced by multiple factors in different conditions. More...23 Dec 2020
Quick Ultra-Sensitive System Identifies Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria
The worldwide emergence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Rapid and accurate diagnostic methods to detect antibiotic resistance are critical for antibiotic stewardship and infection control measurements. More...22 Dec 2020
Elevated Soluble C5b9 Biomarker Found in SARS-Cov-2 Infected Children
Most children with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections have mild or minimal disease, with a small proportion developing severe disease or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). More...21 Dec 2020
MALDI-TOF MS Employed for Early Diagnosis of Bloodstream Infections
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a major cause of mortality in hospitalized patients. Rapid diagnosis is crucial because any delay in the antimicrobial treatment is associated with an increase in adverse patient outcomes. More...17 Dec 2020
Flow Cytometry Employed in Diagnosing Male Urethritis
According to the established guidelines, diagnosis of non-gonococcal urethritis should be confirmed by demonstrating polymorphonuclear leukocytes from the anterior urethra using a Gram-stained (GSS) or methylene blue-stained urethral smear. More...17 Dec 2020
Lab-on-a-Chip Infection Test Provides Cheaper, Faster Portable Diagnostics
Rapid screening and low-cost diagnosis play a crucial role in choosing the correct course of intervention when dealing with highly infectious pathogens. This is especially important if the disease-causing agent has no effective treatment. More...15 Dec 2020
