Rapid Result Test for Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Proves Superior to Standard Urine Culture

Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are a significant burden on individual health and healthcare resources that must be diagnosed and treated early and accurately to reduce the risk of poor outcomes. Now, an advanced rapid result test better addresses polymicrobial infections in difficult cases, where bacterial interactions can impact antibiotic resistance. More...

Duplex ddPCR Assay Evaluated for Salmonella and Shigella

Bacteria of the genus Salmonella and Shigella are important pathogens of infectious diarrhea. Salmonellosis was the second most commonly reported gastrointestinal infection in humans in the European Union in 2018. Shigella spp was the second leading cause of mortality caused by diarrhea among all ages in 2016 globally, accounting for 212,438 deaths. More...
