Preliminary data indicate the rate of sepsis mortality related to overall patient deaths is dropping at University Health Care System in Augusta, Ga. So what are they doing differently? Accelerate ...

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harboring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

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 ...

A study published in Frontiers explores the microbial diversity within hospital sink drains across multiple wards over a year-long period, focusing on bacterial communities, species identification, ...

Viable bacteria in the blood, i.e., bacteremia, can lead to bloodstream infection (BSI) and sepsis, a syndromic, often fatal, inflammatory response. Rapid and accurate antimicrobial prescriptions are ...

Researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called Optical Nanomotion Detection, is extremely ...

In a recent study posted to Research Square*, researchers developed and tested a machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) to predict antibiotic resistance. Study: Predicting ...

When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side ...

Researchers in Israel have developed a method of restoring antibiotic sensitivity, which could help fight hospital superbugs, according to research published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
