Resistant bacteria are spreading worldwide, which makes fast antibiotic susceptibility testing and determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) urgently necessary to select appropriate antibiotic therapy in time. More...28 Mar 2018
Typhoid Fever Bacteria Sequencing Reveals Drug Resistance Genes
Antibiotic resistance is a major problem in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the causative agent of typhoid. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates are prevalent in parts of Asia and Africa and are often associated with the dominant H58 haplotype. More...21 Mar 2018
Helicobacter Pylori Immunoassays Evaluated for Efficacy
Helicobacter pylori are curved gram negative bacilli and have been etiologically associated with several pathogenic conditions of the stomach ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. Prevalence of H. pylori infection varies based on several factors globally and in developing countries more than 80% of the population is infected with H. pylori. More...19 Mar 2018
Solvatochromic Trehalose Probe Rapidly Detects TB
Despite its devastating toll on health, the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be hard to spot. Current tests rely on chemical stains and estimates put the sensitivity of these stains anywhere from 32% to 94%. More...13 Mar 2018
