FDA-Cleared Test Detects Carbapenem Resistance Genes
A qualitative in vitro diagnostic test for fast, accurate, and reproducible identification of five distinct families of carbapenem resistance genes that together represent the most common carbapenemases has been approved for marketing. More...21 Mar 2016
Robust Method Developed for Microbiome Analysis
Scientists have developed a technique for genome sequence data analysis that enables to more efficiently and accurately identify differences between metagenomes for a variety of bacterial communities, which can help to study, diagnose, and treat many human diseases. In a new study, the method was successfully tested on intestinal microbiota. More...16 Mar 2016
