Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a rapid and cost-efficient sequencing method that can identify antibiotic resistance within the same working day. The technique, called s5PSeq, ...

A study conducted in nine European centres has demonstrated the efficacy of a new rapid test designed to detect infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The recent emergence and spread of ...

A recent Lancet Microbe study investigated the accuracy of antibiotic resistance determination from Enterococcus faecium genomes for diagnostic purposes. Study: Antibiotic resistance determination ...

McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria—and determining which antibiotics can stop them—in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb ...

Current methods for assessing antibiotic resistance typically rely on bacterial cultures, a process that can take up to 2 days. Such delays can be critical in urgent clinical settings. To address this ...

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harbouring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to new research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid ...

This approach could change the way a particular patient is treated as well as help bolster the trend of targeting more specific pathogenic bacteria, rather than continuing the broad-spectrum ...

Removing incorrect penicillin allergy labels on GP records could combat antibiotic resistance and save lives, an NIHR-funded clinical trial led by the University of Leeds has found. Penicillins are ...
