Do you ever wonder how researchers identify bacterial infections? Traditionally, they collect samples from the infected site, grow the bacteria in a lab, and analyze them using a method called ...
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) have been arising as an important cause of mortality worldwide mainly due to the increasing escalation of antimicrobial resistance 1. HCAIs are characterized ...
Today, MALDI-ToF MS is an established technique to characterize and identify pathogenic bacteria. The technique is increasingly applied by clinical microbiological laboratories that use commercially ...
The Medical City South Luzon (TMCSL) introduces MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry, becoming the first hospital in the region to ...
Researchers in Japan have developed a new light-based technology that can rapidly gather thousands of bacteria into a tiny ...
Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...
Scientists at UMC Utrecht have developed a new technology to efficiently isolate a specific subset of gut bacteria from fecal samples that are recognized by IgA antibodies. These "IgA-coated" bacteria ...
Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...
