Rapid UTI, Sepsis Tests Uses Digital PCR
Sepsis due to antimicrobial resistant pathogens is a major health problem worldwide. The inability to rapidly detect and thus treat bacteria with appropriate agents in the early stages of infections leads to excess morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. More...30 Jan 2020
Multivariable Diagnostic Prediction Score Validated for Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that affects humans and animals. It is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. In humans, it can cause a wide range of symptoms, some of which may be mistaken for other diseases. More...30 Jan 2020
Resilient Bacteria May Be Treatable with Currently-Available Therapies
Bacteria develop defenses against hostile elements in their environment. One common tactic is "tolerance," that is, lying dormant during antibiotic treatment. In this way, bacteria evade antibiotic treatment because antibiotics can only spot and kill growing targets. More...29 Jan 2020
Biomarker Identifies Septic Patients at Higher Risk for Mortality
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. More...28 Jan 2020
Identification of Rickettsial Biomarker Facilitates Early Diagnosis of Tick-borne Spotted Fevers
A protein biomarker has been identified that enables the rapid and specific early diagnosis of tick-borne rickettsial diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Mediterranean spotted fever. More...27 Jan 2020
