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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An analysis of invasive Escherichia coli samples from newborns at a US pediatric hospital found rising rates of resistance to ...

Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new method for very rapidly determining whether infection-causing bacteria are resistant or susceptible to antibiotics. The findings have now been ...

As biotechnology becomes more routine, biosafety practices should account for what can persist after disposal—not only ...

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 ...
