Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for diagnosing urinary tract infections that significantly accelerates antibiotic resistance testing in urine. Because ...

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

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 ...

The field of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and resistance detection is rapidly evolving to address the global threat posed by antimicrobial resistance. In recent years, a ...

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 ...

A new direct-from-urine test could help doctors choose the right antibiotic for UTIs on the same day, potentially improving patient outcomes while reducing delays that can fuel resistance and serious ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed ApexGO, a novel, AI-powered method for turning promising but ...

Antibiotic resistance is a moving target, and even the most successful drugs eventually lose their edge. Around the turn of ...
