Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...
Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...
In 2021, a man in his 50s was transferred to the intensive care unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. He was in septic shock due to a bacterial infection that had spread to his bloodstream.
The new test may catch active tuberculosis in those with low access to health care or who have trouble making the phlegm ...
A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of disease-causing pathogens, promising much easier diagnostic tests and greater food ...
No more waiting days to get the right antibiotic.
Researchers at TU Delft and partner organizations have built graphene sensors small enough to detect the vibrations of a single bacterium, then used machine learning to sort species by their acoustic ...
Researchers at Amsterdam UMC have developed a new diagnostic test that can quickly and accurately diagnose bacterial meningitis. The test measures the CRP protein in cerebrospinal fluid, a protein ...
The small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) breath test is a noninvasive test that measures the amount of gases produced by bacteria in the small intestine. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ...
