Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test of gut bacteria: Paper sheets soaked with antibiotics are placed on a petri dish. The antibiotic concentration decreases with increasing distance. The closer bacteria ...
Investigators at the Israel Institute for Biological Research have developed a rapid AST that can be performed directly on blood and environmental soil samples. 2,3 In a recent study, the ...
The system consists of a microfluidic cartridge with 640 incubation wells that allows the platform to visually test all clinically relevant antibiotics quantitatively.

The global issue of antimicrobial resistance has been called a “slow motion catastrophe” resulting from the excessive and often inappropriate use of antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. 1 A long ...
The environmental resistome has been recognized as the origin and reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes and considered to be dynamic and ever expanding. In this study, a targeted gene sequencing ...
Giampaolo Pitruzzello receives funding from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK). Bacterial infections are best dealt with rapidly, but lab tests to determine the type of ...
