Antibiotics have revolutionized medicine, saving countless lives by treating previously fatal bacterial infections with ease. Yet today, their power is in serious jeopardy. Every year in the United ...

Researchers from Pasadena-based California Institute of Technology developed a new test that can pinpoint antibiotic-resistant bacteria within half an hour. The researchers published their findings in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Drug-resistant infections are a major public health threat around the world. To fight them, scientists are constantly trying ...

A randomized clinical trial demonstrated the limits of rapid testing to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of ...

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 ...

Lens uses genomic language models to detect antibiotic resistance genes from DNA sequences, performing especially well on long-read data and on some ARGs poorly represented in reference databases.

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 ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat. As multidrug-resistant bacteria continue to increase, science is looking for a solution. Associate Professor Crista Wadsworth from RIT’s Thomas H ...

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 ...
