Malarial Levels Measured in Saliva and Blood
The use of saliva in the diagnosis of infectious diseases is an attractive alternative to procedures that involve blood drawing. It promises to reduce risks associated with accidental needle pricks and improve patient compliance particularly in malaria survey and drug efficacy studies. More...17 Jan 2018
Malarial Cytokine Responses Reduced by Age in Exposed Children
Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the peripheral blood during acute malaria infection contribute to the control of parasitemia, but are also responsible for much of the immunopathology seen during symptomatic disease. More...10 Jan 2018
Mycobacterium Mutations Associated with Clarithromycin Resistance
Mycobacterium abscessus is a leading cause of respiratory diseases and soft tissue infections and it is naturally resistant to many antibiotics in vitro, which complicates clinical treatment and leads to unsatisfactory results. More...09 Jan 2018
Cartridge Developed to Detect Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
A diagnostic platform that exploits the phenomenon of linear dichroism (LD) for a number of uses including the detection of antibiotic resistance in infections is being developed. A key attribute of this technology is that it can measure multiple targets simultaneously in the same sample. More...03 Jan 2018
